Ceph Tracings- Custom and Advanced Features
Show photo of occlusion during digitizing

This feature is extremely helpful, review the digital photo of the patient’s bite while digitizing the ceph. Simply click on
the Original records window and then right click to display the intraoral right image.
Add/modify custom structures

From the Digitizing module open the Custom Structures feature to manually draw structures or modify the automatically
drawn structures.
Add structure Calibrate Measure

Overlay and transfer structures
During treatment a patient's radiograph will indicate if landmarks or structures have changed. For accuracy and simplicity
digitize a progress or final x-ray using overlay tracings from the initial radiograph. Transfer all the structures that did not
change.
The Overlay module enables you to quickly and accurately trace cephalometric radiographs.
Overlay a tracing from another timepoint. Only digitize the landmarks that changed.
Superimposing tracings could not be better.
Capture and Digitize Models
Capture the upper and lower models in the

Undigitized Arch image slot.
Then digitized the models.

Custom Tracings
Custom tracings allow doctors to create personalized analyses either from scratch or by modifying an already existing
analysis. Using the custom analysis editor, you can arrange and group these items, define custom names, define properties
such as whether they should appear on the measurements tables and tracings, and what colors to use for them.
The custom analyses you define are stored in two files: CstAnalysis.bin and CstLateralMs.bin. The CstLateralMs.bin file
is only present if you have created custom group categories or custom norms. You can copy these two files to another
computer to share your custom analyses. Bear in mind, however, that copying these two files to another computer
overwrites any custom analyses that were already defined on the target computer.
Also, upgrading Dolphin Imaging does not overwrite these two files. Therefore, your
custom analyses are retained when you upgrade the software.
Custom Analysis Editor can be accessed either from the Cephalometric Measurements or the Digitize Setup window.
Analysis Dialog Box

Groups and Measurements- These items are typically listed on measurement
tables. Measurements can be the distances between particular landmarks, angles,
ratios, and so on. The groups categorize related measurements.
Tracing Lines- These lines identify the structures that Dolphin Imaging can
automatically draw when you digitize a patient's radiograph using a particular
analysis.
Use Landmarks- These landmarks are included in the analysis but are not used
to create measurements and tracing lines.
Modify an existing analysis
The easiest and most common usage is to start with an
existing analysis and modify it to include additional
measurements and landmarks as desired.
File | Open
Re-order the measurements as desired and add group

headers (Hgd) if needed.
Combine your favorite analyses

When you open an existing single analysis,
the Used Measurements, Used Tracing Lines,
and Used Misc. Landmarks list boxes list the
analysis items that the analysis currently
contains.
Search another single analysis.
At this point, you can add to or remove items

from the analysis.
Finding an analysis Item

Single Analysis- Select this radio button and select from the associated drop-down list
box to list the available analysis items used in the specified analysis.
Search All- Select this radio button to find an analysis item based on one or more of the
following search criteria.
 Measurement Type- Check this box and select from the associated drop-down
list box to find measurements of a particular type. You can view measurements that are
distances, angles, percentages (ratios), or measurements of any other type.
 Uses Landmarks- Check this box and click Landmarks to find an analysis item
that uses one or more landmarks.
 Name Contains- Enter a partial name in this text box to find an analysis item
based on its name.
