Build Custom Looks
Looks are the way an image is processed to be viewed by a radiologist for interpretation.
Looks are pre-defined combinations of brightness, contrast, edge enhancement, and tissue equalization
(TE). Refer to Tissue Equalization Overview
(p. 15-55) for more information.
Factory Look descriptions:
 Factory Look 1 – similar to analog film, low edge, no TE
 Factory Look 2 – low CR look, low edge, moderate tissue contrast
 Factory Look 3 – moderate CR look, low edge, TE
 Factory Look 4 – highly digital look, high edge, high TE
Follow this process to create an new custom look.
Recommendation: When building a custom look, start with the factory look that is closest to the desired
result. Write down the values and apply them to a new custom process. Then change the applicable vari-
ables.
