Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Windowing in the context of medical imaging, particularly in computed tomography (CT), refers to the process of adjusting the range of radiodensities (measured in Hounsfield units) that are displayed in an image. This allows for the visualization of different tissues and structures by enhancing the contrast between areas with similar densities.
