Crop (continued)
Cropping allows “true size” printing for larger
images. True size printing provides a common
scale between images captured on analog
systems (those which use medical x-ray film
exposed by phosphor screens in cassettes)
and printed digital images. The anatomical area
of interest is printed at the same size that it is
captured on the analog system. Measurements
and comparisons between printed analog and
digital images are simplified.
For example, you request a CR image to print
35x43 cm on a laser imager which supports a
maximum print size of 33x41 cm. To make the
area of interest the same size as the captured
image, enable cropping.
