Second Opinion 2.29.0

New Features

• Caries Detection Model for PAs- Global Launch
  
  • We’ve deployed a major upgrade to our Caries AI model to improve detection accuracy and performance on PAs. 
  • The new model enhances sensitivity for early-stage caries. 
  • Improved specificity means fewer false positives, ensuring that flagged findings are clinically meaningful and actionable.
  • Why this matters: With greater precision and reliability, clinicians can confidently detect and treat early caries on PAs, improving patient outcomes and reducing unnecessary interventions.

‍

• Faster Navigation Between Images (Image Preloading Optimization)- Global
  
  • We’ve made behind-the-scenes improvements to reduce image load times and improve navigation in Second Opinion:
    
    • When opening the FMX view, nearby images are now preloaded in the background.
    • Why this matters: This reduces wait time when moving between images, making navigation feel faster and more seamless.

‍

• MM/Bone Ratio Toggle- Global
  
  • Clinical users can now choose how supported bone measurements are displayed—either as millimeters (mm) or percentages (%)—for periapical radiographs where bone ratio calculations are possible.
    
    • A new toggle is available only on periapical images with eligible bone measurements, allowing users to switch between mm and % views.
    • Bitewing images do not support bone ratio calculations and will always display bone levels in millimeters.The toggle will not appear or be active on bitewing images
    • For Periapical images, users can also set a default preference per office (mm or %) via the Customize Interface settings page, which applies to eligible radiographs.
    • If a radiograph doesn’t support bone ratios (due to missing anatomical landmarks like the root apex or image type), the toggle will be disabled and accompanied by a tooltip explaining why ratios are unavailable.
    • The same explanation is shown in Customize Interface to guide admins when setting defaults.
    • Measurements always calculate both mm and ratio values (where available), ensuring consistent editing behavior regardless of view mode.‍
    • Why this matters: This flexibility lets clinicians view bone measurements in the format that best supports their diagnostic approach. 

‍

• Restoring Deleted Bone Measurements on BWX and PA Images- Global
  
  • Previously, bone measurements were permanently deleted when removed. Now, users can hide them instead. 
    
    • The delete (“X”) icon on bone measurements has been replaced with an eye icon.
    • Clicking the eye icon will hide the measurement, turning it grey and dotted, and it will disappear after exiting Edit Measurements mode.
    • This applies to both BWX and PA images as well as both millimeters and bone ratios.‍
    • Why this matters: Clinicians can temporarily hide measurements without losing data, improving flexibility and reducing accidental deletions.
