Dolphin™ 3D Training

CE Credits: 6

Teachers: Craig Dial, Steve McEvoy

Three-dimensional data offers excellent diagnostic benefits. An increasing number of cutting-edge diagnostic techniques are being developed to utilize this information. Dolphin™ 3D supports most cone beam and 3D camera systems. It is a powerful tool that makes processing and analyzing 3D data extremely easy.

Expert Training by Our Professional Staff.

No More Guesswork!

This straight forward one day course has been designed for individuals that own or read data sets from a cone beam CT unit. The course is a "hands-on-course" designed to show you how to best use Dolphin™ 3D operations and make it work for you in your practice.

Discover the hidden secrets!

ddi Education Center is now offering training in getting the most out of Dolphin 3D. This course is designed for anyone utilizing Dolphin 3D in conjunction with CBCT data. The class is non-source specific, bring your DICOM 3D data from any CBCT system such as iCAT, NewTom, Illuma, Instrumentarium, Planmeca, Sirona, or others.

The class will cover many of the core features in depth. Most of the course will be hands on, working with the application and mastering the techniques (each student will be provided with their own workstation).
