SuperFMX/Modality View is designed to provide greater flexibility and efficiency in imaging workflows. It allows you to choose between two workflows:

  • Exam View: A traditional, exam-based workflow.

  • SuperFMX (Modality View): A new, anatomic-based workflow tailored for diverse clinical needs.

By selecting your preferred workflow, you can optimise your diagnostic process and swap your views at any time to personalise the software for your operational preferences.

Navigating Modality View

If the currently selected image in a specific position has a yellow box around it, this is indicating the number of associated images for that position. To view those alternative images:

  • Click an image with the yellow box to view a film strip of all available images.

Using the 'Light Box' function

The eye icon in the lower left of Dentally Visions Modality view allows you to swap to light box mode which offers a simplified viewing experience by hiding extra information for multi-image sets.

Simply toggle this mode on/off by clicking on the eye icon in the very bottom left of your Modality view.
