Dental CT
Additional Important
Information
• This protocol delivers high resolution images for
Dental CT evaluation, however, you can also recon-
struct images with softer kernel, e. g. H20s, for
3D/SSD postprocessing.

• Image orientation:
– In the paraxial view, a “B” indicates buccal and
a “L” lingual. The lingual marker “+” must always be
positioned at the tongue. If not, simply drag & drop
it back.
– In the panoramic view, a “B” stands for “Begin” and
an “E” for “End”.
• Filming: for the maximum use of the film, film directly
from the Dental Card instead of Patient Browser.
For easy reprinting, the results of the latest Dental CT
Film are stored in the Patient Browser in the folder
“Film”.
• It is better to change the image windowing on the
virtual film sheet.
• A semi-automatic detection tool can be used to mark
and outline the mandibular canal on both paraxial
and panoramic images for easy viewing and filming.
