You can acquire or import a single image or a set of images. You can also quickly acquire images for selected teeth. You can also resume single-image X-ray exams and change an exam's name.
Notes:
· Images in "Display all images in template/mount mode" include tooth numbers and capture date. The Schick 33 sensor includes the Edge High image enhancement option.
· You can acquire 3D volumes with third-party programs (See Supported acquisition devices for a list). You can save and store workups, which allows you to create additional workups in the 3D CBCT module. You can also delete these workups.
You can acquire images with a device (such as an X-ray sensor or an intraoral camera) or by importing image files (such as .png or .jpg files). The images will be attached to a patient’s record upon acquisition. When you acquire images, you can customize the acquisition settings, and there are options for posting the associated procedure and billing the procedure to insurance.
Important:
· Depending on the imaging device to be integrated, additional costs from the imaging device vendor may be required, such as the purchase of drivers, to integrate that device with Dentrix Imaging Center. Before you purchase the Dentrix Imaging Center add-on or a particular device that you want to use with Dentrix Imaging Center, consult the manufacturer of that device to verify if there will be costs to get that device working with Dentrix Imaging Center.
· Some, but not all, devices have been tested using a TWAIN driver. Using a TWAIN driver with certain devices might have unexpected results.
