RVG Processing Preferences

In the Processing Preferences, you can set the RVG processing preferences.

Acquisition Settings

Synchro-link installed	Select to install a CCX synchronization link and timer. The acquisition icon is permanently displayed in green when the synchronization timer is turned on, and exposures can be made at any time. When using the synchronization link, follow the appropriate steps for your specific hardware: When using RVG5 sensors, the CCX link plugs in directly to the RVG USB box or the RVG PCI card in the computer. When using RVG 5x00 or RVG 6x00 sensors, the CCX link connects to one of the USB ports of the computer. A specific CCX device must be installed between the x-ray generator and the computer to convert the link to USB format. Once the CCX hardware is installed and the option is selected, the following changes will occur in the CS Imaging software: The RVG x-ray icon is set to green. RVG acquisition is launched by acquiring x-rays. The image window is displayed on the computer. Click RVG5x00/6x00 sensor to change the orientation of the captured image, unless you are using FMS. Clicking this button also changes the active sensor.
Display button to manually connect RVG 6500 sensors	When you select this option, an additional button is available that allows you to connect the RVG 6500 sensor to the computer.
Save images to same tooth number as active image	When you select this option, you can acquire RVG to the same tooth number as the RVG image displayed in the Image View Workspace. This is useful for endo treatment.
RVG5	From the drop-down list, select one of the following options: Hi Resolution (HR): This is the default setting for the RVG5 sensor. It is used to acquire images with the maximum detail. Hi Sensitivity (HS): This setting acquires images with less detail, but requires less radiation and is therefore recommended for pregnant women or young children.
Network shared folder path for RVG synchronization files	Configure the location used to store RVG synchronization files. Click to browse and select a different location.

Acquisition Settings

Sharpness filter

Select to have image details sharpened with increased contrast.

Note: The Sharpness filter option can be disabled on an image if you apply a combination of filters. See Using the Histogram.

Anatomical mode

From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:

Perio: Optimizes the display of periodontal tissues.
Endo: Optimizes contrast values to display canals and roots.
Dentin-to-enamel junction: Strongly accentuates contrast values in the more radio-opaque tissues at the crown, the amelo-dentinal junction, and the roots. This mode provides a clear display of any caries or lesions.

Processing Configuration

The options available here will vary according to the RVG acquisition hardware connected to your system. If you previously used a Carestream Imaging software as your image analysis tool, these settings will automatically be retained in CS Imaging.

RVG 5100/6100

From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:

6500 contrast
Optimized contrast and sharpness
Higher Sharpness

These options must be the same as the processing configuration of your RVG sensor.

RVG 5200/6500

From the drop-down list, select the applicable sharpness filter strength.

RVG 6200 Favorite selection and customization

Click to configure and select filter favorites in the CS Adapt Library.

You can also adjust contrast settings for RVG images post acquisition using the Image Processing tool in the Control Panel. See Using the Image Processing Tool.
