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's name and push “Enter” on your keyboard.
2. Find the patient in the database and open their CBCT scan.
3. Once the scan opens, under “Exporter,” select the option “Send to folder as DICOM (prompt for destination).” Click the green arrow, titled “Start Export.”
4. A pop-up will appear for the save location. Select the folder that you just created on the desktop and click “OK.”
5. A summary will appear for exporting data. Click “Continue.”
6. Once complete, click “OK.”
7. After the DICOM exports and saves, go to the patient’s folder and verify that the individual files were exported correctly; there should be several hundred files.
8. 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.”
9. Upload compressed folder to Dandy Portal or email ImplantSurgery@meetdandy.com
