Bringing Radiology In-House with an Integrated DICOM Imaging Platform

Replacing expensive third-party radiology software with a built-in DICOM viewer — reducing airway assessment time from 30 minutes to 5 and making 100% of imaging accessible within the patient record.

Build Your Imaging Platform

About the Project

An integrated DICOM imaging platform that brings CBCT and cephalometric radiograph viewing directly into the clinical workflow, eliminating the need for expensive third-party radiology software.

The platform includes airway volume measurement, cross-sectional analysis, AI-assisted obstruction identification, and shareable views for referral physicians — all within the patient case record.

The Problem: Fragmented Imaging Across Multiple Software Platforms

Dentists treating sleep apnea need to evaluate airway anatomy from CBCT scans, but viewing DICOM files required expensive third-party radiology software, constant context-switching between systems, and sometimes sending scans out for external interpretation.

A sleep dentist in Colorado was juggling 3 different software platforms just to review a single patient's imaging. Each platform required separate licenses, separate logins, and none of them connected to the patient's clinical record.

The vision was to bring all imaging — CBCT scans, cephalometric radiographs, and airway analysis — into one unified view within the patient case, accessible to both the treating dentist and referring physicians.

Unify Your Imaging Workflow

Our Solution

Integrated DICOM Viewer
  • View CBCT and cephalometric radiographs directly within patient cases
  • Cross-sectional airway analysis with axial, sagittal, and coronal views
  • DICOM files linked directly to patient records for instant access
Airway Measurement & Analysis
  • Airway volume measurement tools built into the viewer
  • AI-assisted radiograph analysis for airway obstruction identification
  • Automated airway dimension calculations at key anatomical landmarks
Treatment Comparison Tools
  • Side-by-side pre/post treatment comparison of CBCT scans
  • Visual overlay of airway changes across treatment milestones
  • Annotation and markup tools for treatment planning documentation
Referral Physician Collaboration
  • Shareable DICOM views for referring sleep physicians — no software needed
  • Annotated views with clinical notes for interdisciplinary communication
  • Secure link sharing with access controls and expiration settings

Challenges: Expensive Software, Fragmented Workflows, and Siloed Imaging

Costly Third-Party Radiology Licenses

Practices were paying $15K+ per year for standalone radiology software that didn't integrate with their clinical systems or patient records.

Time-Intensive Airway Assessment

Evaluating airway anatomy required switching between multiple applications, manually measuring dimensions, and documenting findings separately — taking up to 30 minutes per patient.

Disconnected Imaging and Clinical Records

DICOM files lived in separate systems, making it impossible to view imaging alongside clinical notes, treatment plans, and patient history.

Difficulty Sharing with Referral Physicians

Referring sleep physicians needed to install specialized software to view shared scans, creating friction in the referral communication loop.

Why This Platform Eliminates Radiology Software Sprawl

We built a clinical-grade DICOM viewer directly into the patient management platform — combining imaging, measurement, analysis, comparison, and collaboration in one unified interface.
