Image display system
First Claim
1. An image display apparatus comprising:
- means for converting an original image into a plurality of processed images by using an image processing procedure, the image processing procedure having parameters, each of which can assume different values, the image data having a graduation characteristic whose range is given by window width and whose medium graduation is given by window level;
means for displaying said plurality of processed images in a two-dimensional array based on an ascending or descending order of the values of parameters used for obtaining the processed images, one direction of the array corresponding to the window width and a second direction of the array corresponding to the window level, and a display portion of each of said plurality of images being determined by a combination of the window width and the window level;
designation means for specifying an image among said plurality of processed images; and
designation display means for displaying said specified image.

Abstract
An image display system, for displaying image data having image information and at least one graduation characteristic range. The image display system has a reduction display section, a designation section and a designation display section. The reduction display section displays a plurality of reduced images, having the same image information, aligned in at least one predetermined direction based on where a particular graduation characteristic of each reduced image falls within the graduation characteristic range. The designation section specifies an image out of the plurality of reduced images displayed by the reduction display section. The designation display section displays an unreduced image of the specified image.

10. An image display method for displaying an image, said method comprising the steps of:
-
converting an original image into a plurality of processed images by using an image processing procedure, the image processing procedure having a parameter which can assume different values; displaying said plurality of processed images in an array based on an ascending or a descending order of the values of the parameter used for obtaining the plurality of processed images; selecting an image having an optimum gradation characteristic from among said processed images displayed; and displaying said selected image, wherein the image data has a gradation characteristic whose range is given by window width and whose medium graduation is given by window level and said plurality of images are displayed in a two-dimensional array, one direction of the array corresponding to the window width and a second direction of the array corresponding to the window level, and a display position of each of said various plurality of images being determined by a combination of the window width and the window level. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An image display apparatus for displaying image data having image information and at least one gradation characteristic whose range is given by window width and another gradation characteristic whose gradation is given by window level, said image display apparatus comprising:
-
reduction display means for displaying a plurality of reduced images having said image information and different gradation characteristics arrayed in a two-dimensional array, one direction of the array corresponding to the window width and a second direction of the array corresponding to the window level, and a display position of each of said various plurality of images being determined by a combination of the window width and the window level; designation means for specifying an image among said reduced images; and designation display means for displaying said specified image independent of said reduced images.

18. An image display apparatus for displaying image having image information and at least two gradation characteristic ranges, one of said ranges being given by window width and another of said ranges being given by window level, said image display apparatus comprising:
-
reduction display means for displaying a plurality of reduced images having said image information and different gradation characteristics arrayed in a two-dimensional arrangement based on where particular gradation characteristics of each reduced image falls within said two gradation characteristic ranges, one direction of the array corresponding to the window width and a second direction of the array corresponding to the window level, and a display position of each of said various plurality of images being determined by a combination of the window width and the window level; designation means for specifying an image among said reduced images; and designation display means for displaying said specified image independent of said reduced images.
