Instructions
1. On your desktop, right-click on an empty space. Go to “New” and click “Folder.” A folder will appear with highlighted blue text. Type in the patient name and push “Enter” on your keyboard.
2. In your VaTech, open the patient scan. Click on “Main Menu,” then “Export.”
3. A pop up box will appear. For Save Type, select “Local Disk” for Compression, select “Lossless.” Then check off “DCM Files” to export, and click “Save.”
4. A second pop-up will appear for the save location. Select the folder you just created on the desktop, and click “Select Folder.” The DICOM files will begin to export. Once the files are exported, a confirmation pop-up will appear. Click “OK.”
5. After the DICOM exports, go to the patient’s folder and verify that the .dcm files were exported correctly; there should be several hundred files.
4. Go back to the desktop, right-click on the patient’s folder, go to “Send to”, and select “Compressed (zipped) folder.” A duplicate folder will be made with either a zipper on it, or a blue “Z.”
If following a Dual Scan Protocol, please zip scans individually and label accordingly; i.e: “Patient Scan” and “Denture Scan.”
5. Upload compressed folder to Dandy Portal or email ImplantSurgery@meetdandy.com
