Enhancing the Digital Image
2–16 Getting Started
Enhancing the Digital Image
The digital images of the sensor contain a vast quantity
of information. To explore the images fully, use the
tools in the Kodak dental imaging software.
See the online Help of the Kodak dental imaging
software for more information regarding the
visualization, the display organization, the acquisition
of full mouth series, the printing or sharing of images
as well as the use of the other sensors in the Kodak
range.
Enhancing Zones of Interest
The black and white of the film is replaced in digital
by a vast quantity of gray levels. It is difficult to
simultaneously distinguish the same level of detail in
the dense tissues and the soft tissues. Therefore, the
image is divided into zones of interest to enable you to
focus the reading of the image on a group of details:
• Crowns and inter-proximal zones
• Bone crest, soft tissues and the cervical part of the
tooth
• Apical region
Use the contrast management tools to enhance a
specific zone and extract information. Examine the
specific zone while the other zones are saturated with
black or white. The advantage of the digital image is
the possibility to move from one zone to another while
working on the same image, as if acquired with
different exposure settings.
