well, the size of the gamma table and the the range of the allowed
values depend on the backend and on the scanner. For a scanner with a 10
bit ADC it is reasonable to use a table with 1024 entries. Some other
scanner with a 12 bit ADC may map 12 bit input value to 12 bit output
values, so that the table has 4096 entries where each value may be in
the range 0...4095
