TE Parameters
TE uses the information in the image to improve visualization. Two user-defined parameters; AREA and
STRENGTH; control the extent and amount of TE that is applied to the image. There is an AREA and
STRENGTH parameter for over-penetrated regions and an AREA and STRENGTH parameter for under-
penetrated regions.
Area
The AREA parameter defines the extent of application of the TE algorithm to the image. Increasing AREA
increases the number of image pixels to which TE is applied. For example, in
, setting the
AREA to 30% for under-penetrated region uses the pixels within the dotted ROI. Increasing AREA to 60%
increases the number of pixels where TE is applied, as indicated by the solid ROI.

Using the AREA parameter in TE
The combined AREA parameters for the over and under-penetrated regions cannot be greater than
100%. For example if the AREA parameter for over-penetrated regions is set to 40%, the AREA parameter
for under-penetrated regions cannot be greater than 60% (100-40).
