If you “window” and “level” a typical image, you can view individual hairs on a limb while still being
able to “window” back to dense subchondral bone detail. With film, this is generally very difficult,
and it is standard practice to take two different exposures to identify subchondral bone features of
the distal condyles of MCIII and a second lower-energy setting to identify any possible osteophyte
or enthesiophyte formation around the joint. The dynamic range of the digital X-ray plate and the
EquiView software allow all these details to be seen in one image.
