The snap-to functions sets the image resolution to full (ie, 1:1) and reorients the image in the image frame as directed by the user. The snap-to tools require a mammography plug-in module license.
The Snap
To Image button, , and Snap To Anatomy button,
, pop up a selection grid consisting of eight regions.
Select the region and the tool will display that portion of the image
justified to the respective borders. For example, selecting the top right
region of the selection grid will position the top right corner of the
image or anatomy in the top right corner of the image frame.
The Snap To Anatomy feature requires successful generation of the skin line. If the skin line could not be calculated, this tool defaults to the Snap To Image function.
Shortcuts exist for snapping to specific regions of the selected image. Built-in accelerator keys also exist.
