How do I save a CBCT from Sirona SIDEXIS XG?

  • Create a new folder on your Desktop and put the patient's name on the folder
  • Open the patient's CBCT in SIDEXIS XG
  • Go to Image menu at the top --> Export DICOM --> Third Party Volume (DICOM)
  • A preview of the CBCT volume will load. For the profile, select either 'Third-Party Volume (Orthodontics)' or 'Third-Party Volume (Implantology)'. For the resolution, select the option that says 'Original resolution' and click OK in the lower-left corner.
  • Select 'dcm'
  • Make sure the 'Anonymize' checkbox is not checked
  • Select the folder you wish to export the DICOM files to. Click the button with three dots (...), browse to the Desktop, and double-click the name of the folder you created that has the patient's name on it
  • Click 'Save'
  • Click 'OK' to begin the DICOM export. You will see an animation of pieces of paper flying into a folder while the export is happening. Be sure to wait until the export is complete before moving on to the next step.
  • Once the scan has finished saving, drag and drop the folder that was created on the desktop into the case inside BeamReaders
