Link X-Ray Images to Tooth Chart
As you use the Edge Imaging Single Import feature to import or scan x-ray images, such as bitewing radiographs, to a patient folder, you can link the images to one or more teeth, then view the images within the patient's tooth chart.
Choose X-Ray Image Types to Link - Enable the X-Ray Location property of any image type that you want to be able to assign to specific teeth in your tooth chart. Typically, these would include your Intraoral Left and Intraoral Right bitewing images. See "Image Types Editor" for details.
When you Single Import or Scan an image into an image type you have flagged as an X-Ray Location, you will be prompted to select the tooth or teeth to link to the image. You can use the Bitewing buttons on the tooth chart graphic to enable the most commonly included teeth, or click one or more teeth to link to the image. When you are finished, click Ok to continue importing the image into the patient folder.
X-Ray Location Image Type - You can only link the patient 's tooth chart with image types that have the X-Ray Location property enabled: Image types with this property disabled will omit this step of the Single Import process. See "Image Types Editor" for details.
No Overwrite Warning - When you Single Import or Scan an X-Ray Location image to a patient folder, you will not see any overwrite warning, even if an image has already been imported into the image type for this timepoint. Each X-Ray Location image you import is simply added to the patient's Imaging index, as well as linked to the patient's tooth chart.
To update a linked X-Ray Location image, simply single import the new image, and link it to the appropriate teeth. The previous image will be overwritten. If you import an X-Ray Location image in error, or simply want to remove the links, use the Edit > Delete Image tool to remove the image and the link from both the patient's Imaging page and the tooth chart. (See "View and Edit Image Properties" for details about deleting an image.)
View Linked Teeth on Imaging Page
While viewing the Index layout of a patient's Imaging page, you can hover over an image to pop up that image's properties, and review which teeth have been linked to that image. (The linked teeth are not included when you open the Properties window by right-clicking the image, or when using the Edit > Image Properties tool.)
View Linked Image in Tooth Chart
While viewing the patient's tooth chart, you can hover over the
Information icon to pop up a thumbnail of the image that is linked to that tooth, or click the icon to open the patient's Imaging page, with that image maximized.(You can view the tooth chart from either the patient's Treatment Hub or Findings page. See "Patient Tooth Chart" for details.)
