DICOM Alignment

By aligning intraoral scan data with DICOM data, the patient's facial condition can be simulated, enabling dental clinics or hospitals to achieve a fully digital workflow, thereby improving diagnostic efficiency and quality.

Importing DICOM Data

DICOM data can be imported from the order creation interface. Alternatively, after completing the scan, navigate to Pre-Design > DICOM Alignment, then click to import DICOM data.
