There are a bunch of ways to convert that to an RGB display, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple rendering options you can flip between until you find the one that gives you the visual discrimination you're looking for.
- zokier 8y agoMy particle physics is bit fuzzy, but isn't the energy level of photon directly related to wavelength? So you could do a simple frequency shift (+compress) to visible light spectrum and map them to colors that way? Of course that is the naive approach, and might not be useful from medical perspective.
- phyzome 8y agoYeah, you could do a linear mapping, but you might want to stretch some regions and compress others. But overall it just sounds like a wavelength transform, yes.
