Viewing area
You can choose to have one, two or four images displayed in the viewing area. See section
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.

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
(
F
rom
B
elow) views, i.e., radiographic images taken with the X-ray tube directly below the breast
(Arm angle b170° 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.
