Viewing recent images

You can view a patient's most recent images by category. This is the default view when you select the Imaging tab of the patient's clinical record.

To view a patient's recent images

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

   Note: You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.

2. Do one of the following:

   • On the Patient menu, under Clinical, click (or tap) Imaging.

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

     

   The patient's recent images appear.

   

3. In any of the boxes, which correspond to categories (intraoral X-rays, intraoral photos, extraoral photos, extraoral X-rays, CAD/CAM scans, and 3D volumes), do any of the following:

   • Click (or tap) the Previous button to view an image that was acquired prior to the image being displayed currently. This button is available only if there is an older image.

   • If you have navigated to an older image, click (or tap) the Next button to view a more recent image.

   • Click (or tap) the image being displayed currently to view that image larger. The image will open in the image history view. For information about using the image history view, see the "Viewing history" section.

     Note: If you click (or tap) a specific image of a series (such as a full mouth series or bitewings), that image appears by itself, and you can easily navigate through the other images in that series in the patient's image history view.
