5.0 Magnification Stand
The Selenia Dimensions Magnification Stand has a breast platform and an abdominal shield.
When the Magnification Stand is installed, the HTC grid automatically retracts and the x-ray
exposure techniques are set to the Magnification default values. When the platform is
installed, only use the Magnification paddles (see Section 4.4, page 52).
