  4. To configure how mammography images are stacked, select one of the following options from the Image stack by list:
    • Views: Only images of the same mammography view are stacked. Mammography views combine the view position and the laterality of an image.
    • Grouped views: Additionally stack ML, LM, LMO, ISO, and SIO views behind MLO views and stack XCCL, XCCM, FB, and CV views behind CC views.
    • Not stacked: Every mammography 2D image is treated as a separate series.
  5. Set the following values:
    OptionDescription

    Magnification factor of additional zoom tool in percentThe magnification factor applied when using the shortcut to zoom all visible mammography images simultaneously.
