Using the AI panel

When you view an image in Dentrix Ascend Imaging, an AI panel appears. The panel displays the following information:

• On the Magnify tab, zoomed-in views of AI findings (for caries and PRL only) appear. This tab is available only if Detect AI or Pearl AI has been activated, the image being viewed is eligible for AI findings, and the Enable Magnify tool setting is enabled for this computer.

• On the Image Verify tab, a star-based image quality rating appears with contextual issue messaging.

• On the Detect AI tab, a summary of the AI analysis performed on the displayed teeth appears. This tab is available only if Detect AI has been activated, and the image being viewed is eligible for AI findings. If this tab is available, it is selected by default for each patient (when you start a new image-viewing session for that patient).

• On the Pearl tab, a summary of the AI analysis performed on the displayed teeth appears. This tab is available only if Pearl AI has been activated, and the image being viewed is eligible for AI findings. If this tab is available, it is selected by default for each patient (when you start a new image-viewing session for that patient).

Note: Depending on the width of the AI panel, the tabs names may be hidden, leaving only icons to identify the tabs.

To use the AI panel

1. If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.

     1. On the Patient menu, under Clinical, select Chart, Progress Notes, Quick Exam, Perio, Tx Planner, or Imaging.

        The patient's clinical record opens with the Chart, Progress Notes, Quick Exam, Perio, Tx Planner, or Imaging tab selected.

     2. On the Imaging tab's menu, select Show Image History.

        

     3. On the Images tab, select an exam for an individual image or a series.

        

     4. If you have selected a series, under Image Navigator, click (or tap) an image of that series.

        

   • View an image from the patient's image history list (Modality view).

     1. On the Patient menu, under Clinical, select Chart, Progress Notes, Quick Exam, Perio, Tx Planner, or Imaging.

        The patient's clinical record opens with the Chart, Progress Notes, Quick Exam, Perio, Tx Planner, or Imaging tab selected.

     2. On the Imaging tab's menu, select Show Image History.

        

     3. On the Intraoral X-ray tab, select a slot of the template, and then click (or tap) it again.

        

   • View one of the patient's most recent images.

     1. Do one of the following:

        • On the Patient menu, under Clinical, select Imaging.

        • On the Patient menu, under Clinical, select Chart, Progress Notes, Quick Exam, Perio, Tx Planner, or Imaging. Then, on the Imaging tab's menu, select Show Most Recent Images.

          

     2. Click (or tap) an individual image or an image in a series.

        

   The selected image appears in the viewing area.

   Notes:

   • The AI panel is visible or hidden by default according to the "Show right panel on launch" setting.

   • If the panel is visible, to hide the AI panel, click (or tap) the bar on the left edge of the panel.

     

   • If the panel is hidden, to show the AI panel, click (or tap) the bar on the left edge of the panel.

     

   • If you have collapsed or expanded the AI panel, the panel remains collapsed or expanded as you switch between a patient's exams.

   • Whichever tab you have selected on the AI panel remains selected as you switch between a patient's exams.

3. View information and perform actions as needed on any of the following tabs (if available) of the AI panel:

   • Magnify - On this tab, zoomed-in views of AI findings (for caries and PRL only) appear. This tab displays a magnified view for each AI finding on the image being viewed, allowing you to quickly assess areas of concern without having to manually zoom in.

   • Image Verify - On this tab, a star-based image quality rating appears with contextual issue messaging so you can quickly and confidently assess image quality without ambiguous guidance. Based on the star rating of an image, the messaging that appears clearly explains the detected quality concerns or confirms that no issues were found.

   • Detect AI - On this tab, a summary of the AI analysis performed on the displayed teeth (using all images, with those same teeth in common, that were acquired during that visit—in the same series) appears.

   • Pearl - On this tab, a summary of the AI analysis performed on the displayed teeth (using all images, with those same teeth in common, that were acquired during that visit—in the same series) appears.
