Are CBCT, 3D or STL Images Supported by Tops?
Tops does not support storing or viewing CBCT, 3D or STL images directly within a patient chart.
If you need to retain a 3D image for a patient, you have a couple of options:
- Store the 3D image in the patient’s EasyRx chart, if applicable.
- Take a screenshot of the 3D image and import the screenshot into the appropriate Image Set and Image label in the patient’s Tops chart.
The screenshot will be stored as a standard 2D image and can be viewed with the patient’s other images in Tops.
