Hiding “Check For Updates” for Acquisition Agent
You can now hide the option that allows a user to check for updates for the acquisition agent. This setting provides more flexibility for organizations that prefer to manage software updates manually.
To hide the option
1. Open the Acquisition Agent.ini file (the default installation location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Acquisition Agent).
2. In the [Debug] section, add a new line for the HideCheckForUpdatesLink parameter, and set it equal to True.
3. Save the change.
With the HideCheckForUpdatesLink parameter in the .ini file set to True, the Check for Updates option does not appear on the right-click menu that appears when you right-click the Acquisition Agent icon in the system tray.
HideCheckForUpdatesLink = False
HideCheckForUpdatesLink = True
Viewing Black and White Levels in Image Details
The black and white levels now appear in the Image Details dialog box.
To view the black and white levels
While viewing an image, click the Edit button
.
If the image has tooth numbers, the Assign Tooth Numbers dialog box appears; click the Image Details link to view the Image Details. Otherwise, the Image Details dialog box appears.
Showing/Hiding AI Findings During Image Comparison
A Show/Hide AI Findings button is now available while you are comparing images.
To show or hide AI findings
1. While viewing an image, click Compare.
2. If AI findings are hidden, to show AI findings, click the Show/Hide AI Findings button (which is gray).
The AI findings appear. The Show/Hide AI Findings button turns orange, and the Show/hide Patient View button (which is gray) appears.
3. With AI findings being shown, to show tooth anatomy, click the Show/hide Patient View button (which is gray).
The tooth anatomy appears. The Show/hide Patient View button turns orange.
New “Launch VideaAI” Button
While viewing the AI tools for an image, you can now open the Videa AI website by clicking the new Launch VideaAI button.
Filtering Custom Procedures
Note: The user who creates a custom procedure from this point on is now stored in the database. However, a user is not associated with any existing custom procedures, so only the organization and location are associated with those procedures.
On the Custom Procedures tab, you can now filter procedures according to the following options:
- Organization – Displays all custom procedures that were created in your organization.
- Location – Displays only the custom procedures that were created in the location that you are currently viewing.
- User – Displays only the custom procedures that were created by the user whose account you are currently logged in with.
Note: By default, Location is selected the first time you access Imaging. Whichever option you select after that is saved for the next time you view the custom procedures list.
Download Directory for 3D Volumes
In the acquisition agent preferences, you can now specify the directory where you want 3D volumes to be saved.
To specify the directory
1. Right-click the Acquisition Agent icon in the system tray, and then select Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box appears.
2. On the General tab, under 3D Volume Download Directory, click Browse next to Download Path, and select the correct folder.
3. Click Done.
iRay – Default Filters
To improve iRay sensor image quality, the default filters for this device in the acquisition agent have been updated:
- Gamma: 80
- Pre-Smoothing: 4
To specify the directory
1. Right-click the Acquisition Agent icon in the system tray, and then select Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box appears.
2. On the Filters tab, under Acquisition Filters, select iRay Pluto from the Device list.
Support for Woodpecker and Eighteeth Sensors
On the acquisition device menu, the iRay option has been changed to iRay / Woodpecker / Eighteeth to indicate that direct acquisition is now allowed for the Woodpecker and Eighteeth intraoral X-ray sensors through the iRay integration.
Miscellaneous
- During a single X-ray, phosphor plate, camera, 3D, import, or template acquisition, if the acquisition agent crashes, resulting in a “Connection Lost” error message, the acquisition agent now restarts automatically, and the acquisition resumes.
- You can now download 3D volumes even if the acquisition agent is not running.
Note: In the Share dialog box, a warning message appears if the acquisition agent is offline. - While you are viewing AI findings, if you turn on the Patient View (to view tooth anatomy), it now remains on as you navigate multiple images within an exam. The Patient View remains on until you turn it off or switch to another exam.
- 19-micron pixel size metadata has been added for e2v direct acquisitions.
- Improved database performance. (AI-3953)
- Improved security and performance. (AI-4021)
- Improved health check. (AI-4038)
- Improved AI error messages to provide more detailed explanations and troubleshooting guidance. (AI-4097)
