Apparatus, method and computer-readable storage medium for compensating for image-quality discrepancies

A method comprising:

• receiving a digital image captured by an imaging modality and including a plurality of pixels each of which has a pixel value of a plurality of pixel values, the pixel value of each pixel having previously been calibrated according to a first calibration function associated with the imaging modality for calibrating an image for display by a first monitor;
• transforming the pixel value of each of at least some of the pixels that have previously been calibrated according to first calibration function associated with the imaging modality to corresponding transformed pixel value calibrated according to a different, second calibration function for calibrating an image for display by a second monitor, different than the first monitor;
• and
• causing output of the digital image including the plurality of pixels each of at least some of which has a transformed pixel value, the respective digital image being displayable by the second monitor,
• wherein transforming the pixel value is performed by a processor configured to transform the pixel value.

A non-volatile computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein that, in response to execution by a processor, cause an apparatus to at least:

• receive a digital image captured by an imaging modality and including a plurality of pixels each of which has a pixel value of a plurality of pixel values, the pixel value of each pixel having previously been calibrated according to a first calibration function associated with the imaging modality for calibrating an image for display by a first monitor;
• transform the pixel value of each of at least some of the pixels that have previously been calibrated according to the first calibration function associated with the imaging modality to a corresponding transformed pixel value calibrated according to a different, second calibration function for calibrating an image for display by a second monitor, different than the first monitor;
• and
• cause output of the digital image including the plurality of pixels each of at least some of which has a transformed pixel value, the respective digital image being displayable by the second monitor.
