Fine-tuning an x-ray

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Jason Grosso, a diagnostic imaging technologist with the 35th Surgical Operations Squadron, conducts post-processing operations of a patient’s chest x-ray at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Jan. 27, 2016. Grosso adjusts tone and color parameters to get the right amount of grey so physicians can diagnose injuries. The brighter an area shows up, the more radiation is absorbed. This process ensures each image is easily interpretable by the physicians. Grosso hails from Bridgman, Michigan. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
