Operator's Manual 6 - 20 Simplified Parameter Mode 6 Image Browsing and Processing Parameter Brightness Contrast Sharpness Denoise Description The smaller the value, the dimmer the image. The greater the value, the brighter the image. The smaller the value, the weaker the image contrast and layering effect. The greater the value, the higher the image contrast and layering effect. The smaller the value, the weaker the image sharpness and less details. The greater the value, the higher the image sharpness and more details. The smaller the value, the stronger the image noise. The greater the value, the weaker the image noise. Optimization Curve Adjustment (Look-up Table) You can change the global image effect by adjusting the optimization curve, to achieve the desired image quality. The optimization curve is determined by the control point position, slope of the curve passing the control point, and the optimization parameters for the curve endpoint. 2 Y 1 3 X axis Y axis 1 2 3 Input pixel Output pixel Tail end parameter 1 Tail end parameter 2 Control point The specific adjustment parameters are as follows: Operator's Manual X 6 - 21 6 Image Browsing and Processing Parameter X-axis (brightness) of the optimization curve control point Y-axis of the curve control point Slope (contrast) of the curve control point Curve endpoint optimization parameter (Tail) Description You can change the value of Brightness to adjust the image brightness. Increase the parameter value, and the entire image (including bone tissue and soft tissue) becomes brighter. Reduce the parameter value, and the entire image becomes dimmer. Change the y-axis to change the display effect of the soft issue on the image. When Y is changed to a smaller value, the soft tissue on the image becomes brighter. When Y is changed to a greater value, the soft tissue on the image becomes dimmer. Change the value of Contrast to change the global contrast of an image. This parameter is used to change the shape of the curve tail, in order to change the display effect and customization of the soft tissue close to the background. Compared with tail parameter 1 of the curve, tail parameter 2 displays more soft tissue close to the background. Dynamic Compression You can reduce the dynamic range of an image to display more specific information. Parameter Compression Beta Correction Factor Description You can reduce dynamic compression to reduce the change range of overall brightness trend of the image and reduce the significant black-andwhite difference. This parameter is used to change the display range of the high-density tissue area (which corresponds to the white part of the image), in order to improve the display details. This parameter is used to control the correction degree of the gray value. The following figure shows how the corrected value changes with the gray value. b+ 0 a a: Gray value; b: Correction value Operator's Manual 6 - 22 6 Image Browsing and Processing Detail Enhancement Detail enhancement only changes the local detail contrast of an image. It does not affect the global display effect. Parameter Size 1 Size 2 Size 3 Size 4 Size 5 Size 6 and Size 7 Enhancement factor Description This parameter is used to change the thickness of the corresponding side to the contrast of a detail (such as trabecular bone) of the pixel size of a source image. The smaller the parameter value, the higher the enhancement level, and vice versa. When the parameter is set to 1.0, the details of the specific layer are not enhanced. The detailed graph of the layer contains many noises. Therefore, the noises are increased when the details are enhanced. This parameter is used to change the thickness of the corresponding side to the contrast of a detail of the pixel size of two source images. The detailed layer graph corresponding to the parameter also contains many noises. The noise size is greater than that of Size 1 and therefore is of greater granularity. This parameter is used to change the thickness of the corresponding side to the contrast of a detail of the pixel size of four source images. The noises corresponding to the parameter are less than those of Size 1 and Size 2. However, the noise size of Size 3 is greater than those of Size 1 and Size 2 and therefore is of greater granularity. The noises of great granularity are increased when the detail contrast of the layer graph is enhanced. This parameter is used to change the thickness of the corresponding side to the contrast of a detail of the pixel size of eight source images. The layer graph corresponding to the parameter contains few noises. Therefore, no obvious noises are caused when the layer graph is enhanced. This parameter is used to change the thickness of the corresponding side to the contrast of a detail of the pixel size of 16 source images. The layer graph corresponding to the parameter contains no noises. These two parameters are used to change the thickness of the corresponding side to the contrast of a detail of the pixel size of 32 and 64 source images, respectively. When the values of Size 5, Size 6, and Size 7 are reduced, the contrast between large tissues is increased whereas the noise display is less obvious. The value ranges from 0 to 3.5. It is an overall adjustment value of image enhancement. The smaller the value, the lower the sharpness and the softer the image is. The greater the value, the higher the sharpness and contrast are, and the clearer the details. Noise Suppression Noise suppression is used to suppress the image noise and smooth the image. Operator's Manual 6 - 23 6 Image Browsing and Processing Parameter Noise Suppression Sigma Noise Threshold Fine Grain Middle-sized Grain Large-sized Grain Description · 0: No noise reduction · 1: Minor noise reduction · 2: Moderate noise reduction · 3: Major noise reduction Controls the impact on noise reduction that is caused by the pixels near the current pixel. When the distance between the surrounding pixels and the current pixel is the same, a greater parameter value indicates less impact on noise reduction that is caused by the surrounding pixels, and vice versa. Distinguishes between noises and details. When the contrast between a pixel in a detailed layer graph and another pixel in the surrounding area is less than the noise criterion value, the pixel in the surrounding area has great impact on the noise reduction of the current pixel. Otherwise, the pixel in the surrounding area has minor impact on the noise reduction of the current pixel. In this case, the details between the two pixels are retained. Suppresses fine-grained noises. Noise suppression reaches the maximum level when the parameter value is 0, and reaches the minimum level (noise is not suppressed) when the parameter value is 1.0. When the parameter value changes gradually from 0 to 1, the level of noise suppression decreases. Suppresses medium-grained noises. Noise suppression reaches the maximum level when the parameter value is 0, and reaches the minimum level (noise is not suppressed) when the parameter value is 1.0. When the parameter value changes gradually from 0 to 1, the level of noise suppression decreases. Suppresses coarse-grained noises. Noise suppression reaches the maximum level when the parameter value is 0, and reaches the minimum level (noise is not suppressed) when the parameter value is 1.0. When the parameter value changes gradually from 0 to 1, the level of noise suppression decreases. Auto WL Ratio The related parameters of the auto window factor can affect the result of the auto calculated window level.
