Right-click on an empty space on the computer desktop.
Select New, then select Folder.
Type the patient's name to rename the folder and press Enter on the keyboard.
Export DICOM Files from Iluma
Locate the patient in the database and open the relevant CBCT scan.
Under the Exporter menu, select Send to folder as DICOM (prompt for destination).
Click the green arrow icon labeled Start Export.
In the pop-up window, select the patient folder created on the desktop and click OK.
A summary window will appear; click Continue.

Compress and Upload the Patient Folder
Before uploading to Dandy, the folder must be compressed (zipped) to ensure all data remains intact during the transfer.
Right-click the renamed patient folder.
Select Send to, then select Compressed (zipped) folder.
Note: If you are following a Dual Scan Protocol, zip the "Patient Scan" and "Denture Scan" individually and label them accordingly.
