The Dolphin 3D software is a powerful tool that makes processing 3D data extremely simple, enabling dental specialists from a wide variety of disciplines to diagnose, plan treatment, document and present cases. Dolphin 3D allows visualization and analysis of craniofacial anatomy from data produced by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), MRI, medical CT and 3D facial camera systems.
Dolphin 3D software is already widely used by research/teaching institutes and private practices worldwide. It features tools for onscreen manipulation and analysis of volumetric datasets: Images are easily oriented and rotated, and tissue density thresholds can be adjusted for detailed views of craniofacial anatomy. Measurements and digitization can be performed in both 3D and traditional 2D.

Dolphin 3D includes powerful yet intuitive tools for you to process multi-dimensional datasets. There are no complicated commands or scripting languages to learn. Processing and analyzing three-dimensional data has never been easier.

To maximize the consistency of analysis of a 3D volume, it is crucial to establish a default orientation. Dolphin 3D provides comprehensive tools for defining the mid-sagittal, axial and coronal planes. You can also adjust the object’s default yaw, pitch and roll. These operations can be performed on the CT soft tissue surface, CT hard tissue surface or 3D photo surface.

After a scan has been oriented, take advantage of the pre-set views: front, back, right, left, top, bottom, oblique and isometric views.

4-views (3D volume and the cross section planes in equal sized windows) |
Choose a layout that is best suited to your task:
- 3D volume (just the 3D volume view)
- Volume+3 planes (3D volume and 3 cross section planes on the side)
- 4-views (3D volume and the cross section planes in equal sized windows)
- Individual orthogonal projected slices: sagittal, coronal and axial planes

You can also adjust Window Level (traverse through 12-bit, 14-bit or 16-bit levels of intensity), zoom, pan, rotate, etc.

Easily create a texture map on the facial surface of any CBCT, CT or MRI scan. Simply import the 2D frontal photo, and Dolphin 3D guides you through a quick and simple step-by-step process to add the photo to the 3D volume. No additional devices or add-ons are needed to create this wonderful visual identity for any patient’s 3D volume.

Generate movies |
Automatically create animated movies by collecting “key frames” from your 3D volume or slice views. By altering the volume’s position, zoom factor, translucency, segmentation, clipping and timing attributes, create a movie script which may be reused for volumes of other patients.
Dolphin 3D then creates a smooth animated movie from your script. Spin, fly-by and see-through your volumetric object. Distribute movie files, add them to your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, or play them on your iPod or other portable media player. You control the movie’s speed, resolution, quality and file size with selectable video settings.
You can also export the script’s key frames as individual images. Create a composite set of image layouts of your 3D volume for later viewing or for transfer to referring clinicians.

Create diagnostic reports from your volumetric dataset. You build a workup report specific to a patient’s indication and the specialty of the referral. Build your own library of templates for implant sites, TMJ, impaction studies, tissue pathology, sinus and airway evaluation, and more; a library of existing templates is provided. The template is easily populated on the fly with desired images and cross sections from the volume. Reports can be exported to a document file or hardcopy printout.
