Auto Orientation

The auto orientation feature overrides the default patient orientation, as defined by the modality, and applies a user-defined orientation. When auto orientation is applied to an image, the patient orientation markers are force to appear on the image and are displayed in yellow.

The images below represent a sinus CT and a Mammography that have Auto-Orientation applied.

The auto orientation tool is available for the following:

•  Images from modalities generating multi-slice, planar images and for series in which all images share the same orientation.
• Mammography images to define the position of the dorsal edge of the image.

To enable auto orientation:

1. Select Tools/Options
2. Click the Images tab
3. In the Auto Orientation section, check the box to configure the respective position
   1. L/R sets the left (L) or right (R) side of axial images to the right edge of the image frame
   2.  P/A sets the posterior (P) or anterior (A) side of sagittal and mammography images to the right edge of the image frame.
4. Click OK to save the settings
