Dental CT View is a Dental CT and CBCT Viewer compatible with iPhones, iPads and iPods. It is optimised for pre-viewing dental computed tomography (CT) and cone beam CT (CBCT) scans and treatment plans associated with dental implants on your iOS device.

Dental CT View displays images which are pre-computed using CE-marked radiological workstations and delivered to your device for convenient and rapid viewing.

This gives you secure wireless and portable access to your patient’s images and treatment plans wherever and whenever you need to view them. Dental CT View is specifically designed for dentists to demonstrate treatment proposals to their patients, providing panoramic, cross section and 3D viewing in a convenient and intuitive format.
