Image Resizing Methods
Resizing Method
Minify
The image file is reduced by the removal of
pixel data
.
If the Minify choice was selected when the
Imager was setup, the Imager will minify an
image if:
1. The modality sends an image that is too large for
the film in the Imager. In this case the Minify icon
is printed on the film.
2. The modality requests an image size that the
Imager cannot print. In this case the Scale icon is
printed on the film.
Crop
The image perimeter is removed to allow the
image to print on the available film and at the
same scale as the anatomical area of interest.
To fit the image on the printable area of the
media, equal portions of the perimeter are
removed from the sides of the image and/or the
top and bottom of the image.
Cropping may be appropriate if the image is too
large to print on the available film, and the size
of the area of interest is important to retain.
NOTE:
If anatomical areas of interest are near an
outer edge of the image, they might be
removed from the image when it is printed.
