automatically selects the next organ program in the chosen exam set as
each exam step is completed
Organ programs The following parameters can be set:
X-ray parameters:
E.g., acquisition mode, exposure technique, tube voltage, dose, focus,
tube load
Image processing parameters:
E.g., window values, positive/negative image display, DiamondView Plus,
rotation, mirror, cropping
