Viewer
• To leave the Viewer, click the Close Exam button in the Function panel. All changes to anno-
tations are saved. If changes have been made to brightness or contrast settings, you are asked to
Exit with save, Exit without save, or Cancel.
Note:
Processed images reproduce film behavior and are not intended for quantitative measurement. To
make measurements based on pixel intensity in an acquired image, use the raw image.
1-1 Viewing area
You can choose to have one, two or four images displayed in the viewing area. See section 2 View Con-
trol on page 103 on how to select the desired layout.
To make it easier to view the images in the viewing area, you can place a "shutter" (mask) over the com-
mand window.
• Press the <F10> function key (in the top row on the keyboard) to place the shutter. Press the <F10>
key again to bring the command window back into view.
1-1-1 FB view exception
On the AWS, the View and laterality indication is placed in the lower part of the monitor.
Most images of the breast are presented with the axillary region in the upper part of the monitor.
The FB (From Below) views, i.e., radiographic images taken with the X-ray tube directly below the breast
(Arm angle between +170° and +185), are presented in deviation to this practice and have the axillary
region in the lower part of the monitor.
CAUTION
As a consequence, except for the case of FB views, the View and laterality indication is
NOT positioned near the axilla.
Note:
If the Operator has performed rotations or flips to the image on the Viewer, the axilla might be in a
different position from that stated above. The Operator can always use the "Display Normal" func-
tion to restore the initial image display. In any case, the rotations and flips applied to the images
are not stored at exam closure.
