Abstract
A method, a computing device and a computer program product are provided to identify an instance in which a pixel visibility loss condition exists following window leveling. In the context of a method, window and level values and corresponding minimum and maximum values for a window are identified. The method then determines whether the pixel visibility loss condition exists based upon one or more of the window and level values, the minimum value or the maximum value. In this regard, the method determines whether a pixel visibility loss condition exists by determining whether there is a gray scale loss, a gray scale compression or a lack of perceptible distinctiveness between pixels within the window. In an instance in which the pixel visibility loss condition exists, the method causes an indication to be provided to a user.
