Staying ahead of the curve in modern dentistry is not just a matter of convenience – it's essential for delivering top-tier patient care.
Patient engagement is crucial for providing the right care, but it's challenging when patients can't access or understand their dental images and reports. Research indicates that 64% of patients want to see their radiology reports, and 85% want to view their diagnostic images. However, a recent review found that current web portals for radiology are unsatisfactory for dentists and patients, and many patients struggle to grasp the structure, views, and brightness of their images, leading to unnecessary anxiety.
Braid addresses this by enhancing text reports with annotated visual reports, making communication between patients and providers more meaningful, and ultimately improving both communication quality and patient compliance.
Let’s explore three Braid Health features that are changing the way dental professionals diagnose and treat oral health conditions with better accuracy and streamlined effectiveness.
With Braid Health, you can conveniently compare up to four images over time, making it simple to evaluate changes in a patient's mouth from this year compared to previous images, helping you spot significant developments or potential deteriorations. The "contrast viewing" feature within the hanging protocol is crucial for detecting subtle changes, which ensures more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Braid Health empowers you to manipulate these images with remarkable ease, offering intuitive tools for adjustments such as brightness and contrast enhancement. This enhanced image manipulation can make intricate details, like underlying veins and tissue mass, significantly clearer.
Why does this matter? Braid is among the only PACS platforms that support unlimited optionality and customization in hanging protocols to accommodate even the most unique workflows and data types.
Where other companies have “mobile access” to compressed diagnostic images, Braid’s secure, FDA-cleared technology uses full DICOM-quality studies, which can be interactively manipulated using touch on any mobile device.
