3Dimensions System User Guide Chapter 1: Introduction About C-View and Intelligent 2D Note Intelligent 2D™ may not be available in all regions. Contact your sales representative for information 1.6.1 C-View and Intelligent 2D Software The C-View and Intelligent 2D software uses image data available from a breast tomosynthesis acquisition to generate one digital mammogram (2D) per breast tomosynthesis acquisition.
Overview The C-View and Intelligent 2D software is an image processing application for post- processing the pixel data from tomosynthesis data, captured on a Hologic tomosynthesis imaging system, into a digital mammography (2D) image. The C-View or Intelligent 2D generated 2D image can be used in place of a digital mammogram (2D) as part of a screening study employing tomosynthesis.
Additionally, the user manual is a guide for directions on how to use the system. All users must make sure that they receive training on correct operation of the system before use on patients.
