Diagnostic Tasks and User Profiles
Schick USB Module and Sensors
Schick 33 sensors and supporting software enable the clinician to
optimize image presentation to a level appropriate for the diagnostic
task being performed. These settings are applied at display time and do
not affect the original image data. Diagnostic Task selections can be
changed for any image, from one task to another, and back at will.
The different task selections optimize the contrast and brightness of
the displayed image to improve visibility of the anatomical structures
important for that diagnostic task. Refer to the table below.
In addition to contrast optimization, the visibility of some anatomical
structures benefit from additional image sharpening. Selecting any
diagnostic task applies an initial level of sharpening to the image. A
slider control is available to dynamically change the level of image
sharpness in real time. Users also use the slider in conjunction with the
"Save As Default" button to change the default sharpen level to their
personal viewing preferences for each clinical task described here.
The table below shows the diagnostic task to select to improve
visibility of relevant dental anatomy. Figure 8 and Figure 9 on pages 36
and 37, repectively, provide several sample images.
