Resuming incomplete exams

If you skipped the acquisition of any images in an exam that uses a set of images or canceled an exam before acquiring all the images, you can return to that exam and complete the image acquisitions as needed.

To resume an incomplete exam

1. Use the Patient Search box to access a patient's record.

   Notes:

   • If the last patient record you accessed since you last logged on is the correct patient's record, you do not need to re-enter the patient's name in the Patient Search box.

   • You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.

2. On the Patient menu, under Clinical, clicktap Chart, Progress Notes, Quick Exam, Treatment Planner, Perio, or Imaging. Then, on the Imaging tab's menu, clicktap Show Image History.

   

   The patient's imaging page opens to the history view, and the most recent image or series (such as a full mouth series or bitewings) is selected by default on the Images tab.

   

3. Select a series (such as a full mouth series or bitewings).

4. On the corresponding options menu, clicktap Resume exam. This option is available only if the exam is a series and has missing images (the image count is less than the number of spaces in the template).

   

   The Acquisition Options dialog box appears.

   

5. Under Acquisition sequence, select "Default sequence" or a custom order (if any).

6. ClickTap Proceed with Acquisition.

   The options for acquiring images in the series appear.

7. Finish acquiring images for the exam.
