FITS to TIF: what to expect from the conversion
FITS stores 32-bit greyscale covering the full dynamic range of the scan, and TIF shows 8 bits. The conversion applies a window level, so what ends up visible depends on the window you choose. Decide separately whether patient metadata should be copied to the output or stripped from it. FITS carries 32 bits per channel and TIF carries 16, so tonal steps get coarser during conversion. It shows up first in smooth gradients such as skies. If the result will be edited further, move to a 16-bit format only at the very end.
