Patient Imaging Tab

When you integrate your patient folders with VP Imaging, the Imaging tab of the patient folder shows you the images you have imported for this patient. You can select to view the images in any of your available layouts, and choose which timepoint to display.

VP Imaging vs. Edge Imaging - This article is for use with VP Imaging: If you use Edge Imaging for ViewPoint, opening the Imaging tab of a patient folder will open your Edge Imaging module, with the patient's images loaded. See "Patient Imaging Page" for details.

How to Get Here

Use This Feature

Click to OpenChoose a Layout - Click [V] in the layout field and select from your list of layouts (i.e. Photos, X-Rays). The images shown, and the way they look on your screen depends upon your layout settings.

Click to OpenChoose a Timepoint - Click [V] in the timepoint field and select from the timepoints available for this patient (i.e. Initial, Progress, Final).

Click to OpenMaximize and Compare Images - Double-click to maximize an image to display that single image as large as possible in the imaging window, providing a closer look at the patient's condition. You can also compare two patient images side-by-side to better present treatment progress. See "Maximize & Compare Images" for details.

Click to OpenOpen SmartCeph - (SmartCeph is part of Premier Imaging, an optional module, available from Ortho2.) You always open SmartCeph for a specific patient (even if you only want to open the software to check some system settings). First, go to the patient's Imaging page and select the lateral ceph you want to work with. Then, click the SmartCeph icon. If you have not first selected the patient's lateral ceph, or if you have not yet scanned or imported a lateral ceph for the selected patient, the SmartCeph icon will be dimmed, and you will not be able to open the software. (See "Use SmartCeph" for details.)

Click to OpenImage Montage - Use the Montage tools of your VP Imaging module to view, copy, and print a one-page montage of your patient's treatment photos. You may optionally include your practice logo in the center of the montage. See "View & Print Photo Montage " for details.

Click to OpenAdd Images - You can auto-import a series of images, single import individual images, and scan images directly into the patient folder.

Click to OpenEdit Images - Use the VP Image Editor to manipulate the images you have imported and scanned into your patient folders. See "Edit Patient Images" for details.

Click to OpenPrint / Copy / Save an Image - Right-click an image, then select to print, copy, or save it.

More Information

Click to OpenLogo - You can optionally add your logo to the center of the photos layout to enhance the presentation of your patient photos. To enable this feature, copy a graphic file of your practice logo in the folder where ViewPoint is installed (generally c:\program files\ortho2). Name the file logo.jpg. If ViewPoint does not find a logo.jpg file in the installation folder, the center of the photos layout will be blank.

Click to OpenGo to Previous / Next Patient - While viewing any tab of a patient folder, you can click <-- Previous and -->Next on the ViewPoint toolbar to navigate to the prior or next patient, alphabetically by last name.

Simultaneous Access - You may open multiple patient folders simultaneously, and multiple users may open the same patient folder simultaneously. However, multiple users cannot change the same field in the same patient folder at the same time.

Click to OpenResize the Window - Hover your cursor at a corner of the window, then click and drag to the desired size. ViewPoint remembers you preferred size, even after you exit and re-enter.
