Open a Vatech CBCT with nothing to install

How to export from Ez3D-i

With the CBCT open in Ez3D-i, the DICOM export has these options:

Choose a folder (for example a new one on the desktop), click «Save» and wait for «OK». From EzDent-i it is shorter: right-click the CBCT thumbnail → «Export» → «Local Disk». The folder ends up with hundreds of .dcm files, one per slice.

If it comes on a CD or USB stick with the Vatech viewer next to it, you do not need that: choose the whole folder and tresD DICOM finds the images by itself.

Step by step

1. Copy the folder to your computer

   If you received it on a CD or USB stick, copy the whole folder, for example to the desktop. Reading straight from the CD is slow and can fail halfway through loading.

2. Open tresD DICOM

   Go to tresddicom.com/app with Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. No sign-up and nothing to install.

3. Choose the whole folder

   Click «📁 DICOM folder» and choose the folder with the .dcm files. You can also drag it onto the window. If you received it as a ZIP or RAR, use the button next to it: no need to unzip it.

   

4. Wait for it to load

   Slices appear while the files arrive. Large-field Green scans (up to 900 × 900 × 750 voxels) are reduced automatically to fit in the graphics card; the panoramic, the TMJ and the cross-sections per tooth are read at the original resolution.

What you can do next

With the CBCT open you have the axial, coronal and sagittal slices, the 3D render, the panoramic, cross-sections per tooth, the TMJ, the airway, the simulated cephalogram and the superimposition of two CBCTs of the same patient, plus a PDF report. All measurements are indicative. See all features.
