[ EXPORT GUIDES ]

Get the scan out of the machine.

Before a radiologist can report your study, it has to leave your imaging software. These guides walk practice staff through exporting DICOM from every major platform — written for the front desk, not the IT department.

What we accept.

Zipped DICOM folders

A CBCT export is a folder of hundreds of .dcm slices. Compress the whole folder to a single .zip and upload that — gigabyte volumes are fine.

Loose .dcm files

Single-file DICOM exports of OPGs, cephs and intraoral images upload directly. DICOM is always preferred because it keeps the acquisition data.

JPEG / PNG / TIFF for 2D

If your software only offers image export for 2D studies, choose the highest quality setting and original resolution. Never re-save or downscale.

[ THE GOLDEN RULE ]

Always export the full DICOM volume— never screenshots. A screenshot of a slice can’t be windowed, measured or reconstructed, and the radiologist can’t report what isn’t there.
