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. Select your patient’s CBCT scan in the MiPacs software.
3. Go to “Image” and click “Export Images.”
4. A pop-up box will appear. Under “Destination” select the folder you created on your desktop and click “OK.”
5. Ensure that “Selected image(s)” is checked and that the “File Format” is set to “DICOM.” No other boxes should be checked. Click “OK.”
6. After the DICOM exports and saves, go to the patient’s folder and verify that the .dcm files were exported correctly; there should be several hundred files.
7. 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.”
8. Upload compressed folder to Dandy Portal or email ImplantSurgery@meetdandy.com
