In the Main Menu, click Setup, Program Links. Double-click Trophy(enhanced).

May also be known as Kodak Dental Imaging (KDI). Also use this bridge for some Carestream products.

There are two different Trophy bridges available:

• Trophy Simple: Not recommended but may be used for new installations of Trophy. It always uses the patient ID (PatNum) as the image folder name.
• Trophy Enhanced: Recommended for new installations. Required for existing installations of Trophy. For existing installations, the user must type in the name of the folder in the Edit Patient Information window for each patient.

Bridge Setup

Enter the necessary settings to enable this bridge. Only the fields that need edits are displayed below.

• Enabled: Check to enable this bridge.
• Path of file to open: Verify the path of the program executable.
  • Carestream Imaging 8 Users: If setting up a new bridge, this should be left blank. Enter an Optional command line argument instead. If you upgraded to Carestream Imaging 8, but were already using this bridge, see the Technical Details section on this page.
• Optional command line arguments: If the Path of file to open is blank, this must be set to -D[PatNum] .
• Text on button: The description used on the button as it appears in the toolbar. Defaults to Trophy.
• Additional Properties : Double-click a row to edit properties for the bridge.
  • Enter 0 to use Patient Num or 1 to use ChartNum: Choose which identifier (Chart Number or Patient Number) is used to identify the patient when launching the bridge.
  • Storage Path: Enter the database location that is also entered in Trophy.
• Button Settings: Determine the visual behavior of the bridge button.
  • Hide Button for Clinics: If using clinics, determine which clinics this button should and should not display for.

Technical Details

Carestream Imaging 8 users

If you are completing initial setup of this bridge for use with Carestream Imaging 8, use the optional command line argument described in the Bridge Setup section above.

If you have were already using this bridge and have upgraded to Carestream Imaging 8, you should continue using the bridge setup you were using before upgrading, unless Carestream converts your imaging.

Enhanced Bridge
If using Fona OrisWin imaging then the enhanced bridge is the correct bridge to use. If using the enhanced bridge, then each patient has a Trophy Folder path entered in the Patient Edit window. The folder name for one patient might look similar to

G.rvg\G0000001

\\SERVER\tw\G.rvg\G0000001

The bridge makes the following assumptions:

• User has previously used the standalone mode of Trophy.
• The previous program created a text file inside each patient folder. The format of the text file is shown further down.
• The storage path contains a series of A to Z folders named like A.rvg, B.rvg, C.rvg, etc.

Automation capabilities of the bridge:

• Searches text files for matching LName, FName, Birthdate.
• If all three match, uses that folder.
• If birthday doesn't match, but there is exactly one match for LName and FName, then it uses that folder.
• Otherwise, lets user choose from existing list of folders.
• User can create folder for new patient, which automatically increments the max folder number by one.
• Open Dental does not create new text files. It only makes use of existing text files.

Example text file:

Name of file: FILEDATA.txt. Contents:

[Patient file]

NUMERO=W0000022

NOM=WALIA

PRENOM=KUNAL

DATE=19820411

SECU=...-..-....

CODE=.....-....

TEL1= (...)...-....

TEL2= (...)...-....

PHOTO=

EXTNUM=W0000022

Enhanced Bridge, Numbered Mode
Some installations of Trophy do not use FILEDATA.txt files, and the folders are numbered according to patient ID. The patient folders are grouped into subfolders with similar numbers. If the user has had a conversion from SoftDent to Open Dental, and if the patient ID numbers have been preserved, then many existing patients already have patient image folders named by their patient numbers.

Automation sequence:

• Searches all subfolders of main image folder, regardless of folder organization.
• If a folder name matches the patient ID, then it assigns that folder to the patient.
• If no folder is found, it creates a folder with the name of the patient ID. It puts it in a subfolder named by the last two digits. Example: 23/123

As an alternative to linking folders on the fly, we provide an image conversion service which links up the folders ahead of time.

Troubleshooting

If the bridge isn't working, troubleshoot it by creating a Windows shortcut. The location / target is the Trophy program itself. For example, C:\Program Files\Trophy\TW.exe. After creating the shortcut, right-click on it and select properties. Edit the target. Add a space after the original target and then -P, then no space, then the full path to a patient folder without any trailing \. Similar to this:

C:\Program Files\Trophy\TW.exe -PF:\tw\G.rvg\G0000001

Close the properties window. Then, click the shortcut to test. This simulates exactly what Open Dental is doing. If this doesn't work, then Open Dental won't work either. If it does work, change the settings in Open Dental to match.
