Figure 20
 When the software is used for the first time, the user will be prompted to set the relevant
parameters of the clinic’s X-ray source, as shown in Figure 21:

Figure 21
During the acquisition, problems such as network instability may be encountered, resulting in
the failure of image saving. In this case, there is an image saving failure mark in the lower right
corner of the image. Right-click the image and it can be exported to local and saved again, as
shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23.

4 Diagnosis module
Click the “Diagnosis” button to enter the diagnosis module.
Click the image on the left to select an image to be processed. There are image processing
tools on the right side of the diagnosis interface, such as Display, Image Correction, Measuring,
View, Enhance, Sharpening, Histogram, Annotation, etc. Select the image processing tool and
adjust the image quality to a satisfactory level. In the Enhance, click the “HD” button and the
image will be enhanced. Click the “HD” button again to cancel the enhancement.
Use image processing tools to adjust image quality. Click the “Add Temporary State” button
to save the image quality at this time. Select the temporary state in the drop-down box to
reproduce the image.
There are delete, export, and image information functions above the processed image. These
functions are similar to the corresponding functions of the patient module. When multiple images
are selected for processing, click the “Clear” button to close them all.
Move the mouse wheel up and down to zoom in and out of the image. Hold down the right
button and move the mouse up to increase contrast, move down to decrease contrast, move left to
decrease brightness, and move right to increase brightness.
Select an image, and click the linear measurement icon (or angle measurement icon) in the
Measuring. Click the left mouse button to form the starting point and move the mouse. Click the
left mouse button again to form the end point and right-click the end point to end the measurement.
The measurement line will be displayed on the image, and meanwhile the corresponding
annotation of the measurement line will be displayed in the Annotation, as shown in Figure 25:
For images acquired by File Import, TWAIN, etc., the measured value may be inaccurate, and
can be calibrated through the calibration function. Select the measurement line, enter the actual
length of the measurement line in the Measuring, and click the “Modify” button to perform
calibration.

Figure 25
The dose of the image taken by our imaging plate scanner (i-Scan) and digital intraoral X-ray
imaging system (sensor) will be displayed on the left color column in the preview image on the
left side of the diagnostic module. Low and red column indicates that the dose is too low; orange
and relatively low column indicates that the dose is relatively low; green column indicates that the
dose is appropriate; orange and relatively high column indicates that the dose is relatively high;
red column indicates that the dose is too high, as shown in Figure 26:
 （1）Too low dose （2）Relatively low dose

（3）Appropriate dose （4）Relatively high dose

（5）Too high dose

in Figure 32:

Figure 32
Before using this function, you need to determine whether the sensor is successfully
connected and whether “IO sensor connection successful, Please take images” is displayed in the
lower right corner. If it does not appear, please go to the acquisition interface in the patient
interface to connect the sensor. As is shown in Figure 33:

Figure 33
After the connection is successful, return to the device management interface in the setting
interface to set the sensor parameters. Before setting new parameters, first determine whether the
X-ray trigger mode is AC or DC. If it is DC mode, set “TriggerMode” to
“Enm_TriggerMode_AED_DC”, and “TriggerThreshold” to “Enm_TriggerThreshold_50uGy”; if
it is AC mode, set “TriggerMode” to “Enm_TriggerMode_AED_AC”, and “TriggerThreshold” to
“Enm_TriggerThreshold_50uGy”. Then click “Modify” and “Ok, Setup succeeded” will be
displayed after the modification is successful. As is shown in Figure 34:
 Figure 34
If there is no picture during the shooting process, the exposure time can be appropriately
adjusted to re-expose. If the picture still cannot be produced, set “TriggerThreshold” to
“Enm_TriggerThreshold_100uGy” or “Enm_TriggerThreshold_200uGy” for re-exposure. If the
picture still cannot be produced, please contact the relevant personnel.
Note: If incorrect parameter settings are made or the sensor is not connected, “Sorry, Setup failed”
will appear and the previous parameters will be displayed, as shown in Figure 35:

Figure 35
6.6 Staff Management

and Search User. Click the New User and enter the User Name, Login Password, Confirm
Password and other information, as shown in Figure 37. Enter the user name in the search bar to
query the specified user. Double click the staff information bar to query the details of the user.
When the administrator forgets the login password, open the server interface. Click the
“Setting” button -> click “Password” -> check “Show password”, you can view the administrator
password, as shown in Figure 38. If an ordinary user forgets the login password, double-click the
staff information bar, and the staff information interface will pop up. Press and hold the password
viewing button, the login password input box will display the staff’s password, as shown in Figure

8 Exception handling
（1）In case of unclear image, please adjust the exposure time first. If repeated adjustment
of the exposure time is invalid, you can go to the software “Setting” -> “Device Management” to
set the sensor parameters. Please refer to 6.5 for specific setting methods.
（2）During the use of the software, when the server is unavailable due to some reasons, the
software will enter the server disconnect interface, as shown in Figure 42. At this time, the user
can check whether the network is normal or restart the server.
