Step 4: Divide the number of bytes by 1024 to get the file size in kilobytes. Step 3: Dividing the total number of bits by 8 equals the file size in bytes. Step 2: Multiply total number of pixels by the bit depth of the detector (16 bit, 14 bit etc.) to get the total number of bits of data. Step 1: Multiply the detectors number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels to get the total number of pixels of the detector. One quick way to calculate the file size of your new system is to calculate the total number of pixels in the detector, multiply that by the number of bits of bit depth and divide the result by 8 (because there are 8 bits in a byte)ġ Byte = 8 Bit 1 Kilobyte = 1,024 Bytes 1 Megabyte = 1,048,576 Bytes 1 Gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 Bytes Your IT person however may not share your enthusiasm when they see the size of the files being stored. As the resolution and bit depth of digital detectors continue to improve, the user often gets excited about the improved image quality.
