Viewing image details

For an acquired image, you can view the name and model (if known) of the acquisition device, acquisition date, resolution (width and height; based on the image’s orientation), category, rotation, color/grayscale, transformations, brightness, contrast, image format, adjusted pixel size, and base pixel size. Being able to view this information can provide better clarity.

To view image details

  1. View a prior acquisition for an individual or series of intraoral X-rays, an individual or set of intraoral photos, an individual or set of extraoral photos, a CAD/CAM scan, or a 3D volume or snapshot.

    One of the following occurs:

    • For an individual intraoral X-ray, individual intraoral photo, individual extraoral photo, CAD/CAM scan, or 3D snapshot, under Image Preview, there is only one thumbnail image. A larger version of the image appears in the viewing area.

    • For a 3D volume, under Image Preview, there is a thumbnail image of an axial slice of the volume. The Coronal, Sagittal, and Axial views of the volume appear in the viewing area.

    • For a series of intraoral X-rays, set of intraoral photos, or set of extraoral photos, under Image Navigator, there are multiple thumbnail images. A larger version of the selected image (as indicated by the yellow box around the thumbnail) appears in the viewing area.

  2. If you are viewing a series of intraoral X-rays, set of intraoral photos, or set of extraoral photos, under Image Navigator, click (or tap) one of the thumbnail images; otherwise, skip this step.
