3.3. Scanning with the Auto Protocol
3.3. Scanning with the Auto Protocol
Use this procedure to scan cases using R2’s Automatic Film Marker Identification
(AFMI) feature. The Auto protocol accepts up to four films per case. You can scan
with the Auto protocol if all cases in the stack include only the four standard
mammography views (RCC, LCC, RMLO, LMLO), and were processed using a
supported lead markers (those shown on page
24 ) that were well-placed.
•
For cases that do not meet these criteria, but conform to a different scanning
protocol, see ‘
3.4. Scanning with a Manual Protocol ’ .
•
For cases which do not confirm to any defined scanning protocol, see ‘ 3.5.
Scanning with the Any Protocol’ .
Important! The Auto protocol does not support duplicate views (for example, two
RCC films or two LMLO films). Use a Manual protocol or the Any protocol for cases with
duplicate views.
