Changing dates of exams

You can change the date of an exam with an imported image or a series of imported images as needed.

Example: If you receive image files from a referring dentist, third party, or new patient and then import those images into Ascend Academic Imaging, you may need to change the date of the images to reflect the date that they were acquired originally instead of when they were imported.

To change the date of an exam

How to get there

From the Patient menu, under Clinical, select Imaging.

The patient record displays with the Imaging tab selected.

Tip: You can also access imaging from other clinical areas such as Chart, Progress Notes, Quick Exam, Perio, or Tx Planner.

Note: If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search field to access the patient's record.

On the patient's record > Imaging tab, clicktap the Imaging tab menu and select 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.
Select an image or a series (such as a full mouth series or bitewings).
On the corresponding options menu, select Change exam date.

Note: This option is only available if the image or series was imported.

The Change Exam Date window displays.
In the field provided, enter the correct exam date in mm/dd/yyyy format or clicktap the calendar icon and select the correct exam date.
ClickTap Change Date.
