Window level and invert
Use Window level to modify the brightness and contrast of the selected image.
To apply window leveling to an image. click on the Window level icon.
• By holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse to the left/right you can decrease/increase the value for Window.
• By holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse down/up you can decrease/increase the value for Level.
• If all images of a series have the same initial value for window and level, the window leveling will be applied to all images.
• If images within a series have different values for window and level, the window leveling will only be applied to the selected image.
To support window level on images with higher bit values, the default change in value for the Window or Level is doubled per extra bit.
• This means window levelling reacts faster on the higher bit images.
• To use the normal behavior click the SHIFT button + drag.
If you click on Invert, everything that was dark in the series will become bright and vice versa.
Manually entering window level value:
Click on the label of Window or Level and fill in the desired value.
If you click Window level in the menu now, by default Custom will be selected. To return to the initial image representation, click original.
