The Dolphin 3D software module is a powerful tool that makes processing 3D
data extremely easy, enabling dental specialists from a wide variety of disciplines
to accurately diagnose and plan treatment. Dolphin 3D allows visualization and
analysis of craniofacial anatomy from data produced by cone beam computed
tomography (CBCT), MRI, medical CT and 3D facial camera systems.
Dolphin Imaging software is designed specifically for dental clinicians and trained assisting staff. Results
produced by Dolphin’s diagnostic and treatment planning tools are dependent on the interpretation of

2. Dolphin Imaging 11 product features
D olphin 3D software is already widely used by research/teaching institutes
and private practices worldwide. It features tools for onscreen manipulation
and analysis of volumetric datasets: Images are easily oriented and
rotated, and tissue density thresholds can be adjusted for detailed views
of craniofacial anatomy. Measurements and digitization can be performed
in both 3D and traditional 2D.
Features
• Import from a variety of 3D files
• High-quality, fast 3D rendering
• Easily detect impacted teeth
• Analyze, visualize and measure airway
• Comprehensive cross sections with Multiple Planar View
(MPV)
• Precise volume orientation
• 3D nerve marking
• TMJ analysis
• Create stunning, accurate cephalometric and panoramic
radiographs
• Establish 3D/2D measurements
• Create movies
• Design automated image layouts
• Images export to other applications, including PowerPoint,
Word, etc.
• Images easily saved into Dolphin patient file
• Export to standard file formats and Windows Clipboard
• Fully embedded in Dolphin Imaging’s SQL database
Simple Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Dolphin 3D includes powerful yet intuitive tools for you to process Dolphin 3D display of MRI dataset
multi-dimensional datasets. There are no complicated commands
or scripting language to learn. Processing and analyzing three-
dimensional data has never been easier.

3. Easy Data Segmentation
You prepare the 3D object by grouping intensity levels in pre-set ranges for soft tissue and hard tissue.
After this simple procedure, you can easily review the object’s solid or translucent skeletal surface, solid,
translucent, or photo of soft tissue surface, or both simultaneously. Views can be combined; such as
translucent skeletal structures with translucent soft tissue 3D photo facial texture map (if available).
Object Orientation
To maximize the consistency of analysis of a 3D volume, it is crucial
to establish a default orientation. Dolphin 3D provides comprehensive
tools for defining the mid-sagittal, axial and coronal planes. You can also
adjust the object’s default yaw, pitch and roll. These operations can be
performed on the CT soft tissue surface, CT hard tissue surface or 3D
photo surface.
After a scan has been oriented, take advantage of the pre-set views:
front, back, right, left, top, bottom, oblique and isometric views.

Multiple Planar Views and Layouts
Choose a layout that is best suited to your task:
• 3D volume (just the 3D volume view)
• Volume+3 planes (3D volume and 3 cross section planes on the side)
• 4-views (3D volume and the cross section planes in equal sized windows)
• Individual orthogonal projected slices: sagittal, coronal and axial planes
You can also adjust Window Level (traverse
through 12-bit, 14-bit or 16-bit levels of
intensity), zoom, pan, rotate, etc.

4. Instant Ceph/Pan
Create two-dimensional radiographic images from 3D volume dataset in the lateral, panoramic
(OPG), frontal and SMV views. Reconstruct radiographs in:
• 1:1 projection (no distortion, no magnification)
• Simple orthogonal/magnification projection (input % of magnification desired)
• Complex “traditional x-ray perspective” projection (input detailed x-ray machine geometry;
most accurately simulates traditional x-ray)
Image filters help emphasize different structures of interest; including: MIP (maximum intensity
Collimate to the exact projection), Ray-sum (academic standard) and a collection of Dolphin proprietary filters.
areas you require
Radiographic images can be saved in the Dolphin Imaging database for report generation and
two-dimensional cephalometric tracing (Dolphin Ceph Tracing software required for 2D tracing).

Digitizing/Measuring
Dolphin 3D makes harvesting data from 3D volume simple, and is an excellent tool
for research and data collection.
You can measure distances and angles in 3D; design your own analysis in 3D or
in 2D (Dolphin Ceph Tracing software required for 2D analysis).
Analyze the airway by drawing a border around your selected portion of the
volumetric scan; the program will automatically fill in and display all the airway
space within that border, then report back telling you the volume of airway space
in cubic millimeters. It will also locate, display and measure the most constricted
spot of that airway.
Landmarks can be used in a 3D analysis or translated into identified 2D lateral or
frontal cephalometric analyses, such as Roth-Jarabak, McNamara, etc. Further,
the 2D points can include x-ray magnification to be compatible with existing norm
values.
Digitized landmarks can be saved in Dolphin Imaging and exported to a Microsoft
Excel spreadsheet or other numerical analysis programs. Display of airway volume and most

6. 3D Visualization
Dolphin gives you the power to freely visualize the
volume in 3D. In addition to switching from hard
tissue and soft tissue views, you can also activate
the see-thru hard tissue renderings. Adjust the
factor of translucency and intensity to reveal the
structure you desire.
Clipping tools are also very useful for quickly
visualizing hidden structures, or to simply eliminate
portions of the contents that are not relevant.
