absence of a magnification stand, and the gantry angle, as described in section
•
For views which do not correspond to the automatic selection, the operator must select additional

.View names
View names used by the Senographe DS system are shown here. They are based on the ACR (Ameri-

Prefixes and suffixes are used with the main view names; for example, RMMLO equals Right Magnified
MedioLateral Oblique, and LCCRL equals Left CranioCaudal with upper breast tissue Rolled Laterally.
