Visible Fields

Resolution

name: resolution, type: Integer, default: 48, minimum: 8, maximum: 1024

Sets the output size (square, i.e. equals x and y size).

auto (autoResolution)

name: autoResolution, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the default resolution is used.

Contrast

name: contrast, type: Double, default: 98, minimum: 80, maximum: 100

Sets the upper quantile of gray values mapped to the output range of 0…255.

Thus, a value of 100 keeps the original gray value range, and lower values increase the contrast.

Apply DICOM LUT

name: applyDicomLUT, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If enabled, the Modality and VOI LUT as stored in the DICOM tags will be applied to the image data for thumbnail generation

Filename

name: filename, type: String, default: _thumb.png

Sets the output filename for the internal save method.

auto (autoFilename)

name: autoFilename, type: Bool, default: TRUE

Auto-generate output file name from input file name.

Format

name: format, type: Enum, default: PNG

Defines the format for the internal save method.

Values:

Title	Name	Deprecated Name
