Gray Scale Images
With the release of version 1.2, UTHSCSA ImageTool now provides support for medical images that require greater than 8 bit gray scale. ImageTool supports 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 bit gray scale images. This allows ImageTool to be used for processing and analysis of CT, MRI, Ultrasound, PET, SPECT and many other medical imaging modalities. In addition, laser scanners used for scanning conventional film radiography can be supported.
Window and Level of the 16 bit image can be adjusted using ImageTool. ImageTool provides importing of images form different modalities by specifying the file header size, bit depth, bit padding, image header, bytes orientation, and integer type.
With the use of image stacks, ImageTool also supports multiple image modalities. Cine loops can be produced and displayed for angiography.
