Wrong patient's name on Pan

Post by Tom Zaccaria » Tue Jan 16, 2018 3:55 am

Yesterday we took a panarex x-ray while in the wrong patient panel. The pan was supposed to be for Mrs. Jones (not her real name) but the panel selected was for Mrs. Smith (also not her real name). We are able to export the panarex and import it to the correct patient's file. The only thing now is that the pan still has the wrong name on it.

I tried to edit the name with Microsoft Paint but the resulting file was the wrong compression ratio.
Any ideas as to how to change this ?

Windows 10 32 bit (with all the updated)
OpenDental 17.3.25
Gendex 700 Pan
VixWin Platinum 3.1

Thanks,

Capture a dummy pano in the correct patients chart. Use www.gimp.org and copy the user info from the dummy pano and paste it over the patient info from the correct pano. Save to patient's chart. Gimp gives control over compression rations, file formats, etc.
