Dear All,
in clinical PACS settings of digital mammograms, electronic shuttering leads to pure black outside the breast in all regions without x-ray attenuation. Usually, this is easily defined by the skin and / or by direct non-attenuated exposure of the detector.
The RadiAnt DICOM Viewer sometimes shows these 'pure air regions' yellow instead of black. Is there an option to change the look-up-table in a way that all regions outside the breast are displayed in pure black?
Thanks for your help!
