Apodization Level

Use the Apodization Level User CV to reduce Gibbs ring-like artifact with a tradeoff of reduced image sharpness, with these PSD/Applications.

Note: Apodization level is not applied when AIR^TM Recon DL is turned on.

There are three options:

0 = Weak, for the sharpest image with the most Gibbs artifact.
1 = Medium, image sharpness and Gibbs artifact in between Weak and Strong options.
2 = Strong, for the least sharp image with the least Gibbs artifact.

Number	Description
1	Apodization Level set to 0 = Weak.
2	Apodization Level set to 1 = Medium.
