Breast Tomo Scout

The Breast or MG Scout is a position indicator diagram Synapse displays when you view a tomography series. It allows you to reference the slice position within the breast.

The schematic displays approximate breast quadrants and the current slice level within the breast and includes:

  • Patient position indicators (H/F/M/L)
  • Breast quadrants
  • Pectoral muscle
  • Dynamic localizer line indicating relative position of the currently-displayed slice within the breast
  • Static line indicating first slice location
  • Static line indicating last slice location
