Abstract
A computer-implemented process for automatic viewport re-leveling, in response to receiving a medical digital image, overlays the medical digital image with a floating viewport sized to represent a subset of the image to be viewed in a first instance. A limited set of brightness values is re-allocated to a set of pixels, within the subset of the image in the floating viewport that is less than a set of pixels in the medical digital image, in a second instance automatically. Responsive to the re-allocation, detail of local features within the subset of the image within the floating viewport in the second instance is accentuated.
Claims20
A computer-implemented process for automatic viewport re-leveling, the computer-implemented process comprising:
- in response to receiving a medical digital image, overlaying the medical digital image with a floating viewport sized to represent a subset of the image to be viewed in a first instance;
- re-allocating a limited set of brightness values to a set of pixels, within the subset of the image in the floating viewport that is less than a set of pixels in the medical digital image, in a second instance automatically;
- and
- responsive to the re-allocation, accentuating detail of local features within the subset of the image within the floating viewport in the second instance.
A data processing system for automatic viewport re-leveling, the data processing system comprising:
- a bus;
- a memory connected to the bus, containing computer executable instructions;
- a processor connected to the bus, wherein the processor executes the computer executable instructions to direct the data processing system to:
- in response to receiving a digital medical image, overlay the digital medical image with a floating viewport sized to represent a subset of the image to be viewed in a first instance;
- re-allocate a limited set of brightness values to a set of pixels, within the subset of the image in the floating viewport that is less than a set of pixels in the digital medical image, in a second instance automatically;
- and
- responsive to the re-allocation, accentuate detail of local features within the subset of the image within the floating viewport in the second instance.
A computer program product for automatic viewport re-leveling, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:
- in response to receiving a digital medical image, overlay the digital medical image with a floating viewport sized to represent a subset of the image to be viewed in a first instance;
- re-allocate a limited set of brightness values to a set of pixels, within the subset of the image in the floating viewport that is less than a set of pixels in the digital medical image, in a second instance automatically;
- and
- responsive to the re-allocation, accentuate detail of local features within the subset of the image within the floating viewport in the second instance.
