Image correction files
Image correction files are used to correct image non-uniformity in CCD cameras. Correc-
tion files are provided for each light source. These are applied automatically to each
light source, but can also be set manually by the user when a dye is created, see
light-filter combination, on page 18
.
New custom filter combinations might require generation of new correction
files. If new correction files are needed, contact your GE Healthcare represen-
tative for more information.
