MG Layouts Toolbar

The MG Layouts Toolbar provides single-click access to common view layouts so that you can review mammography studies.

The toolbar is designed for reading workstations with two diagnostic monitors.
The toolbar is located along the bottom edge of the monitor and is duplicated on each monitor.
The toolbar display is optional and controlled by the Show MG Layouts toolbar setting. See Configuring Mammography Settings.
If you have the Series Picker aligned to the bottom of the monitor, the Series Picker sits above the toolbar.
