Creating a Claims-Ready 2D Image from a CBCT
Insurance companies can't accept a 3D scan with a claim. Here's how to generate a claims-ready 2D image directly from a detected finding.
Overview
A periapical radiolucency or other finding may be clear on a CBCT but harder to see on a standard 2D image. Second Opinion 3D® solves this by generating the single best 2D slice of a flagged finding — ready to attach to an insurance claim — without requiring clinical judgment from front desk staff to pick the right image.
How It Works
- Open the CBCT scan and locate the finding in the Pathologies or Anatomy list of the AI Viewer panel.
- Hover over the finding in the viewer. A 2D export option appears.

- Select to export with or without annotations. Second Opinion 3D generates the optimal 2D slice showing that finding, ready to attach to a claim.

Why This Matters
- Front desk staff don't need to be dentists to submit the right image — the tool identifies the best slice automatically.
