1. Ensure both LiveDDM and Schick CDR Dicom are installed on the PC
  2. In LiveDDM, go to user-->terminal settings-->imaging tab
  3. In the drop down, pick Schick CDR Dicom for the imaging bridge (there are three versions in the list, version 2.6, 3.0 and at the bottom of the list, 4.5--only use 4.5 as the previous two are legacy)
  4. Click on browse and find the EXE on the workstation, usually found here:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Sirona Dental\CDR DICOM for Windows\CDRDicom.exe & click save
  5. You can test the bridge by right-clicking on any appointment a select 'Launch Patterson Imaging' or by opening the patient window, selecting the patient and then clicking the icon on the tool bar that looks like an x-ray. Patterson Imaging should launch with the correct patient you selected in LiveDDM


Note: If you cannot find the .EXE to bridge to:

  • Please contact the client and/or the imaging company contact so they can indicate the location for you. 
  • You may also find the EXE location by right clicking on the shortcut on the desktop for the imaging software and going to properties to see where is installed
  • Lastly, LiveDDM often stores a .REG file that has bridge information on the server that you can use to merge on workstations, filling in the values automatically:  \\ServerName\The Doctor Company\LiveDDM.reg
