MANAGING DENTAL PHOTOGRAPHS ACQUIRED BY PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer-readable medium containing instructions for managing patient image information. One method includes displaying within a graphical user interface a list of dental patients on a portable computing device. The method also includes receiving a selection of a patient from the list from a user input and capturing at least one optical, extraoral photograph of the selected patient. The method further includes associating, on the portable computing device, the at least one optical, extraoral photograph with additional information including information identifying the selected patient, and transmitting the at least one optical, extraoral photograph and the additional information to a computer physically separate from the portable computing device for storage in an electronic record associated with the selected patient.
