When decreasing or lowering the window level of a digital fluoro image, the image will demonstrate _ as compared to the original image.

When decreasing or lowering the window level in a digital fluoroscopic image, the resulting image will demonstrate increased brightness compared to the original image. This is because the window level adjustment effectively shifts the mid-point of the grayscale representation of the image. A lower window level means that lower intensity values are considered as "gray" and those that are higher are rendered as brighter.

This adjustment alters the visualization of the image, emphasizing the brighter areas and making them appear more pronounced, while the darker areas may become less prominent. In digital imaging, mastering this adjustment is crucial for optimal image quality, enabling the radiologist or technician to identify and analyze the structures clearly.

Understanding this principle is key for anyone working with digital fluoroscopy, as it directly impacts how diagnostic images are interpreted.
