examination of abdomen and pelvis, defines a separate study.
Smaller cards on the task cards; used for setting parameters, calling
up functions and tool boxes, for example, the Tools subtask card.
syngo applications are set up as task cards, accessible via
The main
the tabs on the right-hand side of the screen, for example, the
Viewing task card.
