colour scale question

Matthew Crocker
Dear All,

I'm totally new to imagej and need some help. I am trying to analyse some
colour scale brain blood flow maps as generated by a xenon enhanced CT
technique. The output from the Xenon program is as JPEGs with a colour scale
from 0 to 160 ml/100mg/min. But defining an ROI in imagej results in
incorrect information being generated as the colour scale is being read as a
grayscale which is then nonlinear. Does anyone know of a way of
recalibrating the scale, I can define the scale as an ROI next to the blood
flow map but then would want to use that ROI as the new colour scale. I have
tried splitting the colour image into separate red, green and blue
grayscale images and adding them but it didn't work.

Any help fantastically appreciated

Thanks all

Matthew

Hello,

Could you please confirm with your Xenon program vendor, how their
program colorizes the JPEG output?
I'm just wondering if your detector collects separate channels of data
and then combines them into a colored image, or if the color is only
added in for  visualization purposes (and thus the color contains no
real information).

HTH,
Pariksheet
