MiPACS Dental Enterprise Viewer is the only application necessary for capturing and viewing images. Its open architecture allows you to have the freedom to use any capture devices, while maintaining compatibility with industry standards.  Find out below what makes MiPACS Dental Enterprise Viewer the ideal image capture and viewing software for any large dental organization.

Capture images from any device – in one application
MiPACS Dental Enterprise Viewer is the only software application required to capture images from nearly any device currently on the market. This includes digital panoramic/cephalometric devices, intraoral sensors, phosphor plate scanners, intraoral cameras, flat-bed scanners, and digital cameras. The original vendor’s software is not required to capture from any of these devices. This provides a standardized procedure for capturing of images, even if many different brands of capture devices are present within a single organization.

DICOM 3.0 PACS-Compliant and HIPAA-Compliant
Within a large enterprise, abiding by industry standards is typically important. MiPACS Dental Enterprise Viewer is fully DICOM 3.0 compliant. Images are stored 100% of the time in DICOM format, and stored via DICOM communication to the MiPACS Storage Server – or any other PACS Server. MiPACS also has the capability to query for patient demographics and ordered procedures from a DICOM Modality Worklist.

MiPACS has HIPAA-compliant audit logging, which records every action of users in regards to patient data and security. MiPACS also allows user restrictions to be put in place, which prevent patient data from leaving the premises of your organization.

Integration with clinical management systems
MiPACS link offers seamless integration with clinical/practice management software. The viewer can be launched from another application, immediately displaying the patient’s images and even passing permission based upon user or group membership. There is no need to look up the patient a second time. This removes the chance for clinical errors that are made when entering patient data, and reduces the time required to view or capture images.

Currently supported clinical management systems include axiUm, Boomerang, Dental Record Manager Plus, Dentrix, Discus Dental, Dolphin Imaging, Salud, Soel Focus, Software of Excellence, Spark Titanium, Quick Recovery, QSI, Windent, and VistA Imaging/CPRS.  If your clinical management system isn’t listed, MiPACS can easily.

Image Manipulation and Analysis Tools
Based on the LEADTOOLS Imaging SDK, MiPACS Dental Enterprise Viewer features all the tools you need to accurately diagnose and to improve the quality of images scanned, captured, or imported. Brightness, contrast, manual histogram adjustments, rotation, inversion, equalization, sharpening, noise reduction, and more tools are included.

Image analysis tools within MiPACS allow users to zoom, magnify, measure, and annotate images. Accurate angular, linear, and polygonal measurements are available,  and using annotations, these measurements can permanently be recorded with the saved image.

Import, Export, and Burn CDs
MiPACS Dental Enterprise Viewer has the ability to import or export virtually any common image format including DICOM, JPEG, BMP, PNG, CMP, Kodak Photo CD, and more. Images can also be burned directly to a CD or DVD from within MiPACS, and a simple image viewer is included so that even clinics without digital imaging capability can view the images as long as they have a computer.

User Security
MiPACS features user security controls to ensure that only the appropriate users have permission to capture, approve, delete, edit, print, export, import, and more. User permissions can be controlled by individual users, or by security group assignment.

Comprehensive Image Support
MiPACS Dental Enterprise Viewer, built on the foundation of the LEADTOOLS Imaging SDK, supports virtually any image bit-depth and has many compression options. MiPACS supports 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 16-bit grayscale, monochrome 1 and 2, 24-bit color, YCBR, RGB, signed, pixel by color, and pixel by plane images. MiPACS also supports JPEG Lossy, JPEG Lossless, JPEG2000 Lossy, and JPEG2000 Lossless compression.

Dental Hanging Protocol
MiPACS features a dental hanging protocol, which can be customized to fit any clinic’s needs. If the image mounts included with MiPACS don’t suffice, then different mounts may be created.

Two or more series of images can be compared in their mounts, allowing you to view images of different types together (panoramic + 4 bitewings) or view a historical comparison (4 bitewings from one year ago + 4 bitewings from today). In addition, individual images can be compared together, even if they are mounted in different templates.
