The range we are discussing is the range from MDS to max signal, which in scanner case is Dmax to Dmin. <<<<<<<<<< There are _two_ ways to talk about "Dmax to Dmin", you can talk about their absolute values (transmittances in the range 0 to 1, for example) as a density range or you can talk about the ratio of Dmax to MDS (or Dmin to MDS depending on the definitions) as the dynamic range. If you claim that these are equivalent, then Austin and I disagree, but if you think they are different, then we all agree. That's all there is here. David J.
