The entire range cannot be displayed at once on a standard 8-bit display, albeit with
the high information content. When viewing the medical data on a standard 8-bit display, a simple
technique would be to compress the entire dynamic range to fit the display range which would result
in a low contrast image thus affecting the diagnosis. The high dynamic range also poses a problem to
the image processing techniques those are dependent on the subtle intensity variations in the data which
might be lost in the high dynamic range.
