Understanding the Grid View and Color-Coded Anatomy
A CBCT scan contains far more information than a single 2D image. The Grid view organizes that information into four views you can move through together, with color-coded anatomy to help you orient quickly.
The Four Views
- 3D — a full, rotatable model of the jaw and skull.

- Axial — a horizontal slice, as if looking down from above.

- Sagittal — a vertical slice from the side.

- Coronal — a vertical slice from the front.

Navigating the Grid
- Scroll with your mouse wheel to move through Axial, Sagittal, or Coronal slices.
- Double-click any panel to enlarge it to full screen. Double-click again to return to the four-panel Grid.
- Click and drag on the 3D panel to rotate the model freely.

Best Practices
- Use the color coding as a quick visual anchor when a scan first loads, before diving into specific findings.
- Enlarge a single panel (double-click) when you want to study one view closely without the others as visual noise.
