User manual

When all DICOM transfers are completed manually adjusting the greyscale
the list to the right side (Sending) will be blank:
The W and L sliders are for Window (W) and Level (L) for the selected
image settings. These settings are stored in the DICOM file header and are
passed on to the PACS system. Compliant viewers will then open the
DICOM image with these settings. The histogram below the window level
sliders graphically displays the pixel distribution over the possible pixel
values. For a 16-bit image, the maximum pixel value is 65536. For an 8-bit
image, the maximum pixel value is 256.
Window/Level can also be set by using the mouse with the right button
depressed and dragging the mouse over the image. Dragging the mouse
horizontally will change the window setting. Dragging the mouse vertically
will change the level. The sliders will move accordingly.
