How to display X-ray images
How to vary the absorption range - VARI
If you are interested in detecting objects of a certain absorption degree exclusively, you can intentionally em-
phasize such objects in the above mentioned image display modes black/white, HI-MAT
PLUS
*, Organic
Only
(
PLUS
)
* and Organic Stripping
(
PLUS
)
* and, at the same time, filter out objects of a different absorption de-
gree.
Only those objects lying within the selected absorption
range will be represented with all the available brightness
levels.
As a result, a considerable contrast enhancement is
achieved, since no brightness levels are required for non-
interesting absorption ranges now.
By pressing
v to the right repeatedly, you can shift
the absorption range towards objects of high absorp-
tion degrees (e.g. metallic objects).

Objects the absorption of which is below
the selected range are displayed in
white, objects the absorption of which is
above the selected range are displayed
in black.

The higher the absorption range is se-
lected, the smaller it is set automatic-
ally. In the highest level, you only see
high-absorbing objects with the highest
contrast.
