The auto orientation feature overrides the default patient orientation, as defined by the modality, and applies a user-defined orientation. For example, axial images can be displayed with the patient’s left side displayed along the right edge of the image frame.
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, do the following:
From the Settings menu, select Customize Settings.
Click the Images tab.
In the Auto Orientation section, check the box to configure the respective position:
L/R sets the left (L) or right (R) side of axial images to the right edge of the image frame.
P/A sets the posterior (P) or anterior (A) side of sagittal and mammography images to the right edge of the image frame.
Click OK to save the settings.
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 marker color can be modified from the color settings.
