How to use a basic PACS viewer
Pull up a CT and review it like a pro!
This quick video that reviews how to properly manipulate radiology images that every student and trainee should be familiar with. This includes changing window/level settings, basic annotation, measuring ROI, and changing the layout to triangulate a finding in two planes.
Understanding window, level and HU
This "adjusting window settings" Medmastery lecture will demystify an often confusing concept for learners and radiologists alike and explain what exactly the window/level settings mean.
