All system requirements remain the same and no changes in behavior of existing facilities were made since the previous (8.2) service release, except bug fixes.

Following are descriptions of new features, bug fixes and known issues to the moment of the Service Release 8.5

The 3^rd party connectivity module DVControl did not operate properly on attempt to add new patient. Status – fixed.

3.2. Scanner problem during CPU-exhaustive screen saver or other concurrent tasks

Scanning images is synchronous operation and thus prohibits other tasks to perform in the same time. While scanning, Dent-A-View receives Real-Time priority. Status – fixed.

Status – fixed.

4. New Features and Fixes 8.3

4.1. Permanent Filter Assignments

In the new version, all filters once assigned to an image are saved permanently in database, restoring every time the image is displayed. In every moment, image filtering can be canceled and reapplied again.

4.2. Snapshot View As-Is

Due to customer requests, an image involving all possible transformations can be snapshot into external BMP file, exactly as it is displayed to the moment. This can be powerful tool for transferring images to simpler imaging systems (8-bit, no image processing) from Dent-A-View.

Patient list is now sorted by surname and not by first name

4.4. Crop operation sometimes generates images in wrong patient folders. Status – fixed.

5. Known Issues
