The Capture tab enables you to capture images from external devices and place them in a patient’s chart. These images can come from x-rays, extraoral and intraoral cameras, digital cameras, and scanners. Using the Capture tab and the Attached Images tab together, you can capture images and attach those images to specific teeth or areas of the mouth.
Use the Capture tab to capture images from most Audio Video Interleave (AVI) compatible video sources. AVI is a standard used by many video devices, capture cards, some stand-alone video cameras, and so forth. Of course, your video capture card must be compatible with PracticeWorks.
Use the External application button to launch any of the other programs which are integrated with PracticeWorks.
When you click the Capture tab, the system asks if you want to begin capturing now.
Click Yes if you want to go immediately into capture mode.
Click No if you want to open the tab, but not capture images right now. On the tab, you can switch to capture mode at any time by clicking Capture.
Note: See the hardware requirements or contact PracticeWorks Support for information about the video capture cards that integrate with PracticeWorks.
