4.1.3 How to Use the AEC Sensor
The AEC Sensor has seven manual positions and an automatic position. The manual
positions start at the chest wall edge (position 1) and reach to the nipple edge
(position 7). The automatic position is Position 8.
Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the Compression Device or in the AEC Sensor
area of the screen to change the sensor position. You can select Auto AEC to allow
the system to calculate the best exposure for the breast.
4.2 How to Use the Implant Present Button
The Implant Present button is above the Accept button on the
Procedure screen. This button applies special implant processing
to the implant and the implant displaced views, and changes the
“Implant Present” DICOM tag in the image header. When this
button is selected, a checkmark appears on the button.
Select the Implant Present button for both implant and implant displaced views before you
acquire the image.
Note… The Implant Present button is automatically selected if there is an ID
view in the open procedure.
