available to enhance anatomical structures 
without additional reconstruction time:

 

Batch Filming is accomplished through a 
single keystroke which automatically prints an 
entire series at a time. 

• 

Four Selections for enhancement of high 
contrast objects where fine detail is 
required without aliasing (such as lungs)

levels of noise and low contrast 
discrimination

greater than 512 image display may be 
desired and AutoView is not required. 

• 

Three ways are provided to adjust window/ 
level of images in focus in order to meet a 
variety of clinical work environments and 
user preferences:
