Tool by tool - what you can do
One click tools
These are quick fixes for overall image adjustment.
Enhance: improve contrast, reduce graininess (especially helpful for x-rays).
Rotate / Flip / Straighten: align your image correctly for viewing or presentation.
Display mode: change how the image is shown (for example inverted colours or different contrast modes).
💡 Top tip: For a clearer image try changing the 'Enhance' setting from 'Entire Image' to 'Not Enhanced' to see if that improves the image quality.
Annotations
Use these when you want to draw attention or add notes.
Choose a drawing tool (line, circle, arrow, free-hand), select a colour and size.
Click and drag on the image to place the annotation.
Add text by selecting the 'text' tool, pick colour and size, then click where you want the label.
Use case: circle a suspicious region, draw an arrow to a finding, label a margin or measurement for discussion with a patient or colleague.
Measurements
For precise sizing and planning.
Calibration: first calibrate the measurement tool if required (e.g. scale or known reference) so measurements are accurate.
Dynamic measurement: click and drag from one point to another to get the size in mm or your configured unit.
Use case: measure bone height, lesion size, implant length.
Density
Useful for assessing grey-levels (radiographic density) in a selected region.
Choose either the line tool or rectangle tool for the region of interest.
Click and drag across your chosen area to generate a density reading.
Use case: this is particularly helpful when comparing before/after or monitoring changes over time.
Spotlight
Draw attention to one area of the image while dimming or leaving the rest untouched.
Select the spotlight tool, choose your effect (for example brighten, highlight) and the size of the spotlight.
Click on the area of the image you wish to highlight.
If you want more than one spotlight on the image, use the 'Suspend' button to keep the spotlight tool active and add further spotlights.
Use case: presenting to a patient, emphasising a region in report, isolating a finding for clarity.
AI tools
Dentally Vision AI can automatically analyse your images upon acquisition to highlight potential findings.
Filter findings by confidence levels (Low, Med & High).
The colour-coded categories help you review areas the AI has identified, such as:
Calculus
Caries – Progressed
Caries – Incipient
Notable Margin
Periapical Radiolucency
Tick or untick each categories under Pathology or Non-pathology to to show or hide its overlays on the image.
Tip: treat your AI results as a visual guide, always confirm findings clinically before recording or discussing with the patient. AI is just a tool - you are still the professional!
