BetterDiagnostics users can send images from the Open Dental Imaging Module to BetterDiagnostics for diagnosis.

In the Imaging Module, click BetterDiagnostics to send an image for analysis.

The BetterDiagnostics integration is designed for offices who use the Open Dental Imaging Module for all patient imaging. Visit their website for more details: betterdiagnostics.ai

Set Up BetterDiagnostics

To begin using BetterDiagnostics, first enable the feature:

1. Sign up for BetterDiagnostics through the eServices Signup Portal.
2. Enable the BetterDiagnostics Bridge bridge.
3. Ensure the eConnector is installed and running.

Process an Image

1. Take a new image in the Open Dental Imaging Module.
   • While rare, images taken outside of Open Dental can be imported and sent to BetterDiagnostics as needed.
2. Images added to the image categories listed in the BetterDiagnostics bridge are automatically sent for analysis.
3. For images not sent automatically, select an image or mount, then click BetterDiagnostics.
   • For images on mounts, rotations and sizing adjustments should be made prior to sending the image.
   • All images on a mount are sent for analysis.
   • Images may take time to process. Images update as they are processed. If an image takes longer than 10 minutes, the image times out and must be resent to BetterDiagnostics. Images that time out cause an alert.

2. Adjust windowing values by using the Windowing slider in the Imaging Module toolbar.
3. Click BetterDiagnostics to send the image again.
