Slice Thickness

dtx logo Only available in DTX Studio™ Clinic Pro.

The Slice thickness tool allows you to convert a reslice into an X-ray and to set the slice thickness and vice versa. The OPG is always in X-ray mode, so for the OPG you can only change the slice thickness. The default slice thickness is Endo (0.5 mm).

Note

To set a default slice thickness, go to the Image settings tab in the DTX Studio™ Clinic settings. In the top-right drop-down menu, select 3D Reslices, Panoramic or Tooth. Select a preferred thickness in the Slice thickness drop-down menu.

To set the X-ray thickness of a 3D reslice viewer:

Click Diagnose in the menu bar.

Select Slice Thickness slice thickness icon.

Click and drag horizontally on a 3D reslice viewer to adjust the slice thickness.

Right-click to finish.

The slice thickness for the 3D reslice viewer is adapted.

Note

An indication of the slice thickness is shown in the bottom-right corner of the 2D viewer.

Alternatively, on the Tooth workspace, the 3D panoramic workspace, the TMJ workspace, or the 3D reslice viewers in the 3D patient workspace:

On the title bar of the 2D viewer, click the down arrow down arrow.

Select Slice Thickness slice thickness icon.

Select a preset slice thickness.

The slice thickness for the 2D viewer is adapted.
