IMAGE MANIPULATION • THOSE TECHNIQUES OR PROCESSES WHICH MODIFY AN IMAGE OR GROUP OF IMAGES TO ENHANCE THE VISIBILITY OF USEFUL INFORMATION WHILE SUPPRESSING NOISE OR NON-USEFUL INFO.
WINDOWING • POINT PROCESSING TECHNIQUE
WINDOWING SYNONYMS: • CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT • CONTRAST STRETCHING • HISTOGRAM MODIFICATION • HISTOGRAM STRETCHING MOST COMMON IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUE IN CT
WINDOW WIDTH – WW • CONTROLS CONTRAST IN CT LARGE NUMBER – LOW CONTRAST LONG SCALE OF CONTRAST WIDE LATITTUDE
WINDOW LEVEL - WL • CONTROLS DENSITY IN CT LARGE NUMBER – HIGH DENSITY OBJECTS WITH CT# BELOW WL WILL GET DARKER

DUAL WINDOW DISPLAY • DIFFERENT WW & WL • PROVIDES WELL DEFINED CONTOURS TO SEPARATE TWO DIFFERENT ANATOMICAL AREAS
VISUALIZATION TOOLS • MULTIPLE WINDOWS
