Creating a Custom Image Acquisition Sequence

Ascend Academic includes default acquisition sequences for acquiring patient images. In some cases, you may want to change the order you acquire patient images. For example, in the case of acquiring a full mouth series, you may want to capture images in the anterior areas first and then capture images in the posterior areas to improve patient comfort. In cases like this, you’ll need to customize the acquisition sequence. The sequence tells the system how you intend to start, proceed, and end your image captures.

• It is important to follow the acquisition sequence when you are acquiring images. The system will think that you are finished and automatically close the acquisition after you take the last numbered image in the sequence.

• Custom acquisition sequence settings are location-specific.

• To remove a custom sequence, clicktap the Acquisition sequence dropdown menu, select the name, and then clicktap the trash can icon to delete the acquisition sequence. You cannot edit or delete the default sequence.
