Image Preferences
| Border Pixels to Delete | Select the number of pixels to delete around the perimeter of the image. Many images have a white edge surrounding the image and when the image is placed on a black background, this white border is unsightly. This option lets the user eliminate the white border. |
| Filter All Raw=4095 | Similar to above, some images have a border of pixels with a data value of 4095. Use this option to force those pixels to 0, which makes them black. |
| No New User Hints | When you first use RadPix, certain Tool Tip hints appear that may be annoying. Use this option to turn these off. |
| Default Window Computation | If you choose to compute the Window and Level from Distribution using the Window Level Tool, this option selects whether the Window will be computed as the Maximum Pixel Value minus the Minimum Pixel Value or equal to 3 times the Standard Deviation of the Pixel data distribution |
| Default Window | This is the Window value that is assigned by default to an image that does not contain a Window Value in the header. |
| Window Maximum | This sets the maximum that the Window Value can be set to with the Window Level Tool |
| Default Level | This is the Level value that is assigned by default to an image that does not contain a Level Value in the header. |
| Level Maximum | This sets the maximum that the Level Value can be set to with the Window Level Tool |
File Locations Preferences
| Image File Directory | This is the root directory where all of the image files will be placed. It is also known as the Processed Image Directory in the Setup Program |
| Temporary File Directory | This is the directory where RadPix places all of the temporary files that it uses. By default, this is the Windows Temp Directory |
| PowerPoint Slide Directory | This is the directory where the PowerPoint presentations are placed by default. |
| Process Raw Images at Program Startup | Check this box to have RadPix process the raw DICOM images when it starts. See Process DICOM Images for more details. |
| Raw DICOM Directory | This is the directory where the raw DICOM images from the DICOM client are placed. See Process DICOM Images for more details. |
Tool Settings Preferences
| Pen Color | This is the color of the pen that is used to draw on the Image |
| Pen Width | This is the thickness of the pen used to draw on the Image |
| Annotation Font | This is the font used to draw the annotation |
| Background Color | This is the background color behind the annotation |
| Border Color | This is the color of the border drawn around the annotation |
| Border Width | This is the width of the border drawn around the annotation |
File Format Preferences
| Use Compression | This will enable compression. When an image is saved, it will be saved |
| Compression Amount | The amount of compression can be adjusted from 1 - 9, with 1 having the least amount of compression, and taking the least amount of time to compress, and 9 having the most compression, and takes the longest time to compress. Selecting 5 or 6 generally results in a satisfactory tradeoff. |
| Compress Sub-Directories | Checking this option will cause RadPix to compress all sub-directories of any directory compressed |
| Delete Original Images after Compression | Checking this option will cause RadPix to delete the original images after they are compressed. |
| Compress DICOM Images at Startup | This will automatically compress all DICOM images as they are processed. |
| Preview Dimensions | Determines size of bitmap which is used in the browse feature. The larger the size, the more disk space the file will take up. 256 is a good size in terms of preview bitmap size and resulting filesize. |
