Abstract:
In summary, the following should be parts of a useful system for electronic medical image display. 1. All display scales should be linearized. 2. Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization should be applied to all slices as they arrive at display. 3. A screen or portion thereof should be dedicated to a low-sampled index of all slices, and navigation among the slices should be accomplished by reference to this index. 4. One second access to any slice or group of slices from the index should be provided.
