Perfect image quality is achieved by enabling the human eye to harvest the maximum Raw Data tissue resolution in an image. For
veterinary DR equipment to accomplish this goal, the TruDR dx™ Detector first acquires unprecedented levels of Raw Data tissue resolution. Then, SoundVu Tissue Equalization maximizes this Raw Data by reducing non-structural "noise" to provide TruDR users unobstructed viewing of tissue detail. At the same time, SoundVu enhances tissue signals, contrast, edges, borders, dynamic compression and other valuable diagnostic data. In this way, the SoundVu patented core technology delivers bone and soft tissue with equal clarity in one digital X Ray image. Adjacent and overlying structures are seen with perfect clarity. Perfect image quality is achieved.
After the TruDR dx™ detector captures the digital signal, that signal is then processed into a viewable digital x-ray image by applying LUTs (Look Up Tables). The image can then be further tuned and enhanced.
LUTS (Look-Up-Tables)
LUTs are applied to raw data acquired from an acquisition device. In order to apply shades of gray (grayscale values) based upon exposure levels to create a viewable image. Most systems apply some sort of LUT.
The application of LUTs, combined with plate sensitivity, determines the latitude of an image.
Image Tuning
After the LUT is applied, the image can be tuned in various ways to optimize its diagnostic quality. Diagnostic quality is dependent on three factors:
Latitude (determined by LUTs and plate sensitivity)
Noise (Speckle or grain artifacts)
Detail (Ability to clearly differentiate very small structures)
There are two main factors involved in tuning an image:
