3.4 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 31:
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 31
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 32:

（1）Too low dose （2）Relatively low dose

（3）Appropriate dose （4）Too high dose

in Figure 38:

Figure 38
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 39:
 Figure 39
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 40:

Figure 40
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 41:
