Automatic Shutter
The Definium 5000 is able to detect collimation edges present in an x-ray radiograph. This allows the
system to provide a shuttered image on the viewer.
In the event of incorrect automatic shuttering, the image can be recovered by manually re-shuttering the
image to visualize the desired anatomy and then re-processing with the same look.
