Process of conversion of continuous (analog) signals, such as the detected ultrasound or MRI signal (voltage), into numbers. This is carried out with an analog to digital converter. There are two kinds of discretization involved: the voltage is only measured (sampled) at particular discrete times and only voltages within a particular range and separated by a particular minimum amount can be distinguished. Voltages beyond this range are said to exceed the dynamic range of the digitizer. • 
E-Z-EM, Inc. was headquartered in New York and developed, manufactured and marketed diagnostic imaging products used by radiologists like the MRI bowel marker Gadolite® Oral Suspension.In addition to medical diagnostics systems, the company's products included interventional devices, such as biopsy needles.

Gray scale [also grayscale, grey scale = brit.] produces basically black and white images with series of shades of gray. Solid areas appear white and fluid areas appear black, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest. Gray scale resolves artifacts as small as 1 mm. The display is made by transmitting bursts of energy and analyzing the returning signal. Gray scale pictures are limited to the gray scale tones; color pictures display more information because the color is added to the gray scale. Most ultrasound contrast agents also improve gray scale visualization of the flowing blood to such a degree that the tissue echogenicity increases. Gray scale enhancement of flow in an organ promises to improve lesion detection, along with the ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal areas, using many of the criteria already routinely used in CT and MRI.
