What's New in CS 3D Imaging Software

1

Simplified user interface

• "Orthogonal" and "Oblique" tabs have been merged into a single "MPR" one
• The "Customize" tab has been renamed "Bilateral"

A new horizontal toolbar at the top of the interface

• Brings most common tools together
• Gives more space and allows faster access to objects and tools inside the toolbar on the left side

A new "Analysis" management (upper left corner of CS 3D Imaging)

• Allows users to easily create different and distinct treatment plans from the same volume
• Each Analysis can be named

New annotations and drawing tools

• In addition to the measurement tool, new tools have been added
  • Arrow, circle, rectangle, freehand drawing (as in CS Imaging 8)
  • Text edit
• These annotations can be either attached to the whole volume (like the measurement tool has been able to previously), or to specific slices inside the volume (new).
• In that case, after going through the volume, the associated slices can be easily retrieved by clicking on the target symbol, associated with each annotation.
• This behavior can be set inside the CS 3D Imaging Preferences (inside the measurement tool tab). 

Capabilities to trace two simultaneous jaw arches

• When both jaws are involved in a treatment plan, the arch tracing must be optimized for each jaw since the shape of each is very different.
• By tracing two distinct arches, arches and reconstructed images can be optimized.
• The tracing operation is very simple:
  • Trace the first arch
  • Name it (double click inside the toolbar)
  • De-select the tracing tool
  • Move the axial plane to position the second arch, trace it
  • Name it
• The user can then easily toggle between the two arches.

Lock/unlock implants, crowns, wax-ups

• To avoid manipulation errors when some objects overlap (implant and wax-up for instance)
• When the object has been placed inside the volume, just click on the three dots inside the toolbox, and select "lock"
• A padlock then appears over the object in the images
• The object cannot be moved anymore until unlocked

New Export options

• In addition to DVD and USB key options, the export can be sent to any destination, with or without the light viewer
• The export folder automatically assigned the patient's name

New Report Editor

• In addition to the current Film Composer, a new Report Editor has been designed to give the dentist an easy, flexible and quick way to create templates and make reports.
• The user fills the page with free text, image and (DICOM) information boxes,
  • Drag and drop boxes from the left side of the interface.
• Then saves the page as a template.
• Images from CS 3D Imaging Gallery appear on the right side of the interface.
  • From there, users can simply drag & drop the images into the templates they've created.
• As for the Film Composer, it can be sent to a printer or saved as a PDF file.

Simplification of slice thickness and slice spacing values

• Values have been rounded to more "comprehensible" values for the practitioner.
• The same modifications have been made inside the slice generator.
• Slice thickness can be synchronized through the many views (axial, coronal, sagittal). To be set inside the Preferences.

Regulatory: New information tab

• All regulatory information has been regrouped on a tab with clearer information
