Abstract
A medical imaging viewer application processes and interactively displays grayscale images having a higher grayscale range (bit depth) on a platform optimized for a lower grayscale range. The application additionally provides pixel calculations based on the user's selection of a window center and a window width.
Claims21
A method for displaying an image comprising:
- acquiring a first image having a first bit depth;
- generating a plurality of sub-range image sets, each set including a plurality of sub-range images at a second bit depth;
- selecting a sub-range image for display;
- performing pixel calculations on the selected sub-range image in a rendering engine operable to perform pixel calculation on the selected sub-range image at the second bit depth;
- and
- displaying the image using the rendering engine.
A system for displaying an image, the system comprising:
- computer-readable storage medium including computer program logic encoded thereon that, when executed on the system provides an image display performing operations of:
- acquiring a first image having a first bit depth;
- generating a plurality of sub-range image sets, each set including a plurality of sub-range images at a second bit depth;
- selecting a sub-range image for display;
- performing pixel calculations on the selected sub-range image in a rendering engine operable to perform pixel calculation on the selected sub-range image at the second bit depth;
- and
- displaying the image using the rendering engine.
A computer program product having a computer-readable storage medium including computer program logic encoded thereon that, when executed on processor within a computerized device, provides a method for displaying an image by performing the operations of:
- acquiring a first image having a first bit depth;
- generating a plurality of sub-range image sets, each set including a plurality of sub-range images at a second bit depth;
- selecting a sub-range image for display;
- performing pixel calculations on the selected sub-range image in a rendering engine operable to perform pixel calculation on the selected sub-range image at the second bit depth;
- and
- displaying the image using the rendering engine.
