2-6-2 Contrast Conversion
The LUT intensity can be mapped (re-assigned) while observing a histogram.
Mapping (re-assignment) results in changing the image contrast.
An image acquired by observation contains intensity information in values from 0 to 4095,
but the intensity information used in actual display takes values from 0 to 255 by
assigning the original values from 0 to 4095 to values from 0 to 255 usually. This facility
changes the contrast by noticing a certain
section between 0 and 4095 and mapping this
section to values between 0 and 255.
