🆕 Monitoring Tool for Acquisition Agent
AA Update Required
RCI have introduced a helpful monitoring tool, called the "Watchdog" to ensure the Dentally Vision Acquisition Agent runs smoothly. Here’s what it does:
Keeps the Agent Running: The Watchdog regularly checks if the Acquisition Agent is running. If it stops, the Watchdog will automatically try to restart it for you.
Incident Logging: If the Agent can’t restart, the Watchdog creates a detailed log to help identify and resolve any issues.
Automatic Cleanup: Logs generated by the Watchdog are automatically cleared after 180 days to keep things tidy.
Easy to Configure: The tool offers settings to customise how often it checks the Agent, how long it waits before starting, and how many restart attempts it makes. Default values are already set for you.
Simple Controls: Use the Watchdog’s system tray icon to quickly enable or disable monitoring, or manually restart the Agent if needed. The icon changes colour to show the Agent's status: green (running), yellow (paused), and red (error).
Seamless Integration: The Watchdog is installed along with the Acquisition Agent and includes a shortcut to start the Agent manually if required. The uninstallation process also ensures everything shuts down cleanly.
This tool is designed to make sure your Acquisition Agent stays up and running with minimal effort on your part.

This feature is designed to cater to various operational styles and clinical requirements, enabling you to select the workflow that aligns most effectively with your diagnostic practices.
🌟 DEXIS Software Bridge - 3D Volume Acquisition - Optimise Folder Search - AA Update Required ⬆️
Improved the efficiency of 3D volume acquisition by prioritising searches within the patient’s folder. This enhancement significantly reduces processing time while maintaining a full directory scan as a fallback option.
🌟 Second Opinion AI - AI Findings Menu Enhancements
The AI findings menu has been upgraded for better navigation and usability. Findings are now organized by AI tool tabs, with Pathology and Non-Pathology findings clearly divided by a grey line. Additionally, the 'Tooth Parts' and 'Measurements' toggles have been renamed and visually separated for improved clarity.
🌟 macOS - Update PSPIX and SOPIX Helper Apps
AA Update Required ⬆️
Updated the helper apps for PSPIX and SOPIX devices on macOS to enhance compatibility and performance across various macOS versions. Updated versions:

PSPIX helper app: v1.0.31
🌟 Auto-Select New GxPicture Option for Existing Users
AA Update Required ⬆️
Resolved an issue where users updating to the latest Acquisition Agent version did not have the correct GxPicture device option auto-selected. The new "GxPicture Sensor" is now automatically selected for relevant procedures.
🌟 Vatech EzDenti SW Bridge - Check DCM Files for Full 2D Image
AA Update Required ⬆️
Improved handling of images acquired via the Vatech EzDenti SW Bridge. If the saved file is a DCM file, the system now checks if it contains a 2D image and ensures the full image is pulled into the imaging software. Previously, only a thumbnail image was displayed.
🐛 Carestream Software Bridge Fix
AA Update Required ⬆️
2D image links now correctly transfer to the patient's exam list.

🌟 Additional 'Levels' adjustment tool
The 'Levels' adjustment tool has been implemented for 2D grayscale X-ray images, allowing users to manually adjust the black and white pixel levels.
This tool enhances image clarity and contrast by giving users more precise control over image exposure. It has been added to the existing Brightness/Contrast popup window, introducing two new sliders—one for adjusting the maximum black pixel value and another for the minimum white pixel value.
Key Features:
Black Level Slider: Adjusts the threshold below which all pixel values are set to black (0).
White Level Slider: Adjusts the threshold above which all pixel values are set to white (255).
🌟 Vision AI now supports panoramic images
Users can now submit panoramic images to Second Opinion AI and view analysis results for these images.
🌟 Resubmit images for AI review
If a patients image does not submit for AI analysis automatically because of network issues during acquisition, you can now submit AI candidate images that have not been submitted and are less than 48 hours old directly from the Dentally Vision panel using the 'Submit for analysis' button. Which only appears if the image failed to send automatically.
🌟 Show/Hide AI Findings Button Persistence
The show/hide AI Findings button state defaults to 'on' but will now retain its state (on/off) when you switch between images in the same exam and will only reset when a new exam is loaded.
🌟 Various device updates
iRay Pluto integration
Added support for PSP intraoral acquisition modes using the GxPicture interface.
Hamamatsu updates to improve image capture
Sirona / Schick updates to version IOSS 3.2
DEXIS - now supports 3D
Extend Romexis timeout to 1 minute

🌟 Updated AI side panel
The Dentally Vision AI side panel has been updated with enhanced features to improve your user experience. These updates include;
The addition of dropdown menus for Pathology and Non-Pathology sections.
Tooth Parts and Measurements options.
Updating colour indications, and ensuring proper display of findings.

This improvement ensures that images retain their original orientation when imported, reducing the need for manual corrections.
🌟 Dentally Vision Button Interactions

Key changes include:
Separating the toggling actions of each button.
Adding Tooth Parts to the show/hide objects dialog.
Updating tooltips for better clarity.
