Transverse CT images obtained with the (a) standard mediastinal (window width, 400 HU; window center, 30 HU), (b) modified (window width, 416 HU; window center, 208 HU), and (c) double-half (window width, 748 HU; window center, 187 HU) window settings. (d) Transverse CT image obtained with the mean value of the personal window setting for all observers (window width, 628 HU; window center, 175 HU).
