6.6.2 Enhance Image
Toggle Image Enhancement on/off (2D Image Mode Only)
The button shown will process the image on the display to emphasize the
smaller details, such as micro-calcifications, and small masses in the image.

The algorithm, commonly known as “Peripheral Equalization” or “Thickness
“Equalization” in advanced imaging, is applied to the whole image. In addition to this
algorithm, Faxitron employs a second, internally developed algorithm called the
“Calcification Emphasis” algorithm. This secondary algorithm is made to bring out small
details in the image and make them much easier to see and analyze.
Since Patient images constitute a more general category, in terms of possible geometries
and variety of thickness, there may be some challenging sample geometries, and the user
should use this tool with care.
The system will be idle (in Standby) during the processing. Once completed the button
will stay depressed/active. The user can undo the process by pressing the button again.
6.6.3 Window Level
The Faxitron CT Software provides 2 methods for adjusting the brightness and contrast
of the image: The Window Level tool, accessed through the Left Side Tool Bar, and a
“Built-in Windowing Tool” feature. Both are described below.
Window Level Tool
Clicking on the Adjust Image Contrast button in the Left Side Tool Bar opens the
Window Level Tool. This tool allows the user to adjust the images window level
and width, or brightness and contrast.
