Dental imaging IT is one of the more technically demanding support categories we handle. Tampa Bay dental practices run a wide range of imaging hardware: Carestream CS 9300 and CS 9600 CBCT units in oral surgery and periodontic offices, Planmeca ProMax 3D systems in implant-focused practices, DEXIS and Schick intraoral sensors in general dentistry offices throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, and an increasing number of intraoral scanners including 3Shape TRIOS, iTero, and Medit in restorative and orthodontic practices. Each of these systems has specific workstation requirements, imaging software dependencies, and PMS bridge configurations that general IT providers encounter infrequently if at all.
Ekim IT Solutions is the dental-exclusive IT provider serving Tampa Bay from our office at 600 N Westshore Blvd, Suite 701, Tampa, FL 33609.
A Tampa Bay dental practice that purchases a new CBCT unit or intraoral scanner and installs it on an existing clinical workstation without first verifying that the workstation meets the manufacturer’s current specifications will experience imaging problems that appear to be hardware defects but are actually configuration failures.
CBCT systems from Carestream, Planmeca, Dentsply Sirona, and other manufacturers require workstations with dedicated NVIDIA GPUs for real-time 3D reconstruction, NVMe storage for fast image access during case planning, and sufficient RAM to run the 3D imaging software alongside the practice management software without resource conflicts. Ekim IT Solutions specifies CBCT workstations for Tampa Bay practices against each manufacturer’s current requirements, which change with software version releases and must be verified before any new CBCT system is installed or any existing workstation is replaced.
Ekim IT Solutions handles these imaging software and bridge configuration steps for Tampa Bay practices. Tap a step for details.
Carestream CS Imaging, Planmeca Romexis, DEXIS Imaging Suite, Schick CDR Dicom, and other platform-specific imaging software installed, licensed, and configured on the correct workstations with appropriate storage paths and network access settings.
The bridge between the imaging software and the practice management software must be configured correctly for X-rays to route automatically into the patient chart when captured. Ekim IT Solutions configures and tests the imaging bridge for every Tampa Bay practice, confirming that images route to the correct patient record before the system is used clinically.
Tampa Bay practices adding AI diagnostic tools including Pearl, Overjet, or VideaHealth to their imaging workflow need the AI platform integrated with the imaging software at the same time the imaging system is configured. Ekim IT Solutions handles AI suite integration alongside imaging software setup for practices building a complete AI diagnostic environment.
Intraoral scanners including 3Shape TRIOS, iTero Element, and Medit i700 have workstation requirements that exceed standard dental workstation specifications. Dedicated GPU, NVMe storage, and specific USB configuration are required for reliable scan performance. Ekim IT Solutions specifies, procures, and configures dedicated scanning workstations for Tampa Bay practices deploying intraoral scanners, and verifies scanner connectivity to the cloud platforms each system uses including 3Shape Unite, Align Technology’s iTero platform, and Medit Link before clinical use.
