bit scan produces a file that has 256 color tones in each of its Red, Green, and Blue channels. This yields an image capable of displaying 16.7 million unique colors. A 16-bit scan produces a file that has 65,536 color tones in each of its R, G, and B channels. This yields an image capable of displaying 281 trillion unique colors. See next topic.

These numbers refer to the number of bits used to specify each colour in an image - the more bits, the more different gradations of colour can be expressed. QuickBird imagery is acquired with 11-bits, distributed in a 16-bit file. This 11-bit imagery can be processed to reveal information in shadow areas, for example, which would not otherwise be visible. See similar questions...

Reference is to the computer graphic system. Color depth is sometimes called color resolution. The number of computer bits used for color graphics. Each of the three primary colors (Red-Green-Blue) is represented, and whether it is on or off. Higher quality color resolution requires more memory and larger file sizes. The "-bit" color reference is the number of bits in each pixel ("picture element"). See similar questions...

For some industries, especially photography, 24-bit colour depths (8 bits per channel) are a real barrier to entry. Once again, it's GEGL to the rescue. Work on integrating GEGL into GIMP will begin after 2.4 is released. Once that work is completed, GIMP will support 16 bits per channel. If you need such support now and can't wait, cinepaint and krita support 16 bits per channel now. See similar questions...

One is provided with 1.65 and there are a variety of add-in 16-bit compress programs for 1.64 and earlier available on (old) SimTel. If you use 16-bit compress, be sure you have the 'compress' flag in the static file set correctly for the compress you're using. See /waffle/docs/comp16.doc . See similar questions...

Sol: Auto-Scan will scan according to the time interval set and this is done only when the Ultimate Security Application is running. If the Application is shut down, then Auto-Scan stops working. If you set the Scan Reminder option, scanning is performed at the scheduled intervals even if the Application is shut down. Scan Reminder restarts the Ultimate Security Application and starts the scanning process in the background at the scheduled interval. See similar questions...

One of the most basic differences between the two tests is that CAT Scanning uses x-rays and MRI does not. In most situations, MRI is superior to CAT in the demonstration of soft tissue pathology. Your doctor can best advise which test would be most appropriate for you. See similar questions...

Both MRI and CT scans make cross-sectional images (slices) of pretty much any area of the body using a sophisticated computer system. The major difference is that an MRI uses a large magnet and radio waves to produce images while a CT scanner uses x-rays. Therefore, with the MRI studies, there is no exposure to x-rays. See similar questions...

Computed Tomography (CT) uses x-rays to create a cross-sectional image of the body part being examined. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a high field strength magnet and radio waves to generate a cross-sectional image. See similar questions...

Ans : Select 'Scan English Card' if the business card contains English characters only. Whenever the business card contains any Chinese characters, select 'Scan Chinese Card' option. The scanner will process both English and Chinese characters.Back See similar questions...

Sol: In Typical Scan by default - entire file system, the registry, and the system memory is scanned. In Custom Scan you can select exactly what you want to scan – Files, Registry or Memory. Typical Scan is more effective since you can ensure that all Spyware are detected. Custom Scan is for advanced users. See similar questions...

The "Days" column indicates the last time (in days) since the last sucessful TICS database run. This is triggered by an e-mail that is send to the Dashboard server after each TICSQServer run. The "Scan" column, on the other hand, indicates the last time (in days) since the source files in a project have been changed according to TICS. See similar questions...

A DEXA scan is a test that a doctor orders to see how strong your bones are. It checks for Osteoporosis. It is painless and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Anyone over 18 years old can have a scan (there are no standards set for children under 18). You build bone density until approximately 25-30 years of age. After that, the goal is to prevent any further loss. To read about the DEXA scan, click here . See similar questions...

CAT Scan is a commonly used term that refers to Computed Axial Tomography. CAT or CT Scanning was developed after Ultrasound and uses x-ray technology. CAT Scanning is fast, patient friendly and has the unique ability to image a combination of soft tissue, bone, and blood vessels. It is a multi use imaging system. For many computed tomography examinations, patients may be asked to take a special contrast agent (orally, rectally or via injection). See similar questions...

For now, I guess you have to write your own program, or convert your own native format to one of the RadWare ones. The RadWare formats are very simple, just direct-access, unformatted integers, one record per row of 4096 channels. These integers can be either 2 Bytes per channel (for the .mat format) or 4 Bytes per channel (for the .spn / .m4b format). See similar questions...

Frequency will vary from case to case, depending on what an initial scan uncovers. For those with multiple risk factors, or troublesome findings, a follow-up scan may be repeated in a year's time to assess the success of lifestyle changes or medication in treating the problem. For those receiving a clean bill of health with an initial scan we recommend a recheck in perhaps two to three years. No diagnostic test is infallible. See similar questions...
