Systems, processes and apparatus are described through which signals are modified within a system. A process for image conditioning in a nondestructive imaging system includes acts of: (i) selecting a protocol from a group of protocols, each protocol of the group being structured to provide multiple coordinated views of a particularized anatomical region and to facilitate automated characterization of an aspect of the anatomical region; (ii) opting for at least one of a plurality of viewing modalities for review of images associated with the selected protocol; and (iii) displaying the images in conformance with the at least one viewing modality.
