 1 Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1 GENERAL
CliniView software is a complete solution for dental digital image
acquisition, processing, viewing and storing. CliniView supports the
Instrumentarium Sigma intraoral sensor, Sigma M,
Orthopantomograph® OP100 D/OP200 D and Orthopantomograph®
OC100 D/OC200 D digital units and intraoral video cameras. Images
can also be imported from another digital sources. CliniView stores
images and patient information in a SQL database and provides tools
for image archiving.

This user manual covers the usage of CliniView Standard and

CliniView DICOM versions. The Installation Manual describes how to
install CliniView and usage of CliniView Manager software. Refer to
your equipment manuals before installing or using the equipment. See
your Windows manuals for further information about the Windows
environment.

With CliniView you can perform the following operations, assuming

that all the other equipment is ready for use:

• Create a new patient and store patient information in a database.

• Capture and store digital X-ray images with exposure values from
the device.
• Capture and store intraoral photographs.
• Export and import digital images.
• Process images to enhance their diagnostic value with dental
specific tools.
• Analyse the image with application specific measurement tools.
• Build an environment with multiple workstations using a database
shared over a network.
• Printing images and image information.

CliniView works with Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP Professional

operating systems.

CliniView allows you to import and export image files. Supported file
formats are D32, JPG, JPG2000, TIF, BMP and PNG. D32 is
Instrumentarium’s proprietary own file format. Images can be saved in
the database in PNG (16 bit) or JPG formats (12 bit).

CliniView can be used in a network environment. If CliniView is

installed in several computers, the patient and image database can be
shared and used from different workstations.

We recommend that you read this manual before installing and using
the software.

A message is constructed from attributes having values, and each

attribute is identified by a tag. An attribute is a unit of data (e.g.,
Patient's Name, Patient 10, ...). A tag is a 4-byte number identifying an
attribute (e.g., 00100010H for Patient's Name, ...).

A tag is usually written as an ordered pair of two-byte numbers. The

first two bytes are sometimes called a group number, and the last two
bytes are called an element number (e.g., (0010,0010), (0038,
001C),...). This terminology is partly a remnant of the ACR-NEMA
DICOM Standard.

DICOM specifies Information Object Definitions (IOD's) as being

composed of modules. Each module contains attributes. Attributes
can be required, optional, or only required under certain conditions
(conditional attributes). Conditional attributes are always specified
along with a condition.

PDU max length:

Max size of the Protocol Data Units that can be sent or received by
CliniView DICOM.

Timeouts group box:

Timeouts specify, in seconds, how long your process will wait for a
message before the DICOM call times out and returns control to your
application. If your application is running in a multi-tasking
environment, your process will be blocked during this waiting period
and the system processor will be available for other processes. Setting
Timeout to 0 is equivalent to polling, since DICOM returns immediately
whether a message has been received or not.

Association Request:
The number of seconds to use as a timeout waiting for
association request, or waiting for the peer to shut down an
association.
Association Response:
The number of seconds you have to wait for reply to an
associate request.

Buffers group box:

The values in this box are configuration values for improving
performance.

Work Buffer:
This option specifies how DICOM buffers data before storing
it or passing it to a user’s callback function. Setting higher
values for this option will increase performance.

Send Buffer:
This option sets the TCP/IP send buffer size. Higher values
for this buffer generally will increase the network performance
of the tool kit for client (SCU) applications. This value should
also be slightly larger than the PDU max length to increase
performance.

Receive Buffer:
This option sets the TCP/IP receive buffer size. Higher values
for this buffer generally will increase the network performance
of the tool kit for server (SCP) applications. This value should
also be slightly larger than the PDU max length to increase
performance.

If you have made changes in the DICOM message page of the

‘Advanced’ window after clicking the window’s OK button, you will be
prompted to save changes made. The Yes button will temporarily save
your changes.

 7 Upgrading CliniView

7 Upgrading CliniView
7.1 UPGRADING CLINIVIEW 4.1 OR OLDER
VERSION

7.1.1 Prior to conversion

The platform selection for server computer before updating process is

very important. The conversion process is validated to be done only in
Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP Professional operating systems.
This may cause an action that database and images must be moved
from present server computer to the future server computer before any
other action.

Pay attention and verify the current CliniView workstation, viewstation

and server architecture. In the new CliniView database structure the
database engine is located only in one computer. This is one of the
main differences compared to the old one.

The conversion can be done over the network. If the network speed is
slow with stability problems and database is bigger than few Mb
consider making conversion process locally in the server computer.
(This requires a lot of empty disk space, about three times more than
current image folder size)

Update process:

1 Make backup of the old CliniView, specially the database,

template and image folders.
2 Make CliniView 6 database server selection. Note: operating
system in the conversion computer must be either Widows® 2000
or Windows® XP Professional.
3 Install new CliniView database to the selected server. Take a
copy of database network configuration file to floppy disk
(CVDataSource.ini). This is a specific step for this operation
during database installation. See chapter Installing database to
server for details.
4 If old database is installed to computer that uses other operating
systems than Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP Professional
move old CliniView images and database to selected server. If
the database and images are already present in WIN2000 or WIN
XP computer, skip this step. The conversion process can be
launched over network but it is recommended to be done locally.
5 Check that the old CliniView system is fully functional i.e. patients
and images and that templates can be viewed normally with
CliniView. Patients created with CliniView must have a prefix in
PatID, if some P(atient) M(anagement) S(oftware) has been used
with CliniView. PatIDs can be modified with the service program.
Close all CliniViews. Remove all *.lck and *.net files from
CliniView paradox database folder. Verify the old CliniView
database functionality with service program. If needed repair the
database with service program and rebuild index tables.
6 Before launching the conversion tool check following item: In the
conversion computer you have to have the CliniView 4.1 or older
with correct database and image routing paths. (Look at chapter

5139498-100 rev 4 Instrumentarium Dental 93

7 Upgrading CliniView

BDE administrator settings for details) You should have CliniView

installed with workable connection to the new database. During
CliniView installation select checkbox: “install database
converter”.
7 Start conversion process by launching the conversion tool.
8 Check correct date format by conversion tool (see Chapter 7.1.3
Conversion tool).
9 Install CliniView view/workstation clients.
10 Install Gainfiles using gain installer program. Copy them from old
CliniView structure to the new structure. This is valid only to the
image capturing workstations.
11 Launch release 6.2 and check that Patient Database and images
are okay. Correct the missing date of birth when opening the
patient (if it´s not OK).
12 Uninstall old CliniView and delete database/images.

7.1.2 BDE administrator settings

In the old CliniView software the BDE settings may have been altered.
Therefore to ensure successful conversion, these BDE settings have
to be verified.

Select Start/Settings/Control Panel on the task bar and open BDE

Administrator.

Then double click on system INIT. Check that the settings are similar
as above (except VERSION). Change values if necessary.

Click Object and select Apply to save changes. Close the BDE
Administrator window by cliking Object/Exit.

7.1.3 Conversion tool

Search the conversionTool.exe file with windows explorer. Default

directory is C:\Program Files\CliniView\Tools\Conversion.

Double click the file name to open the conversion tool.

Program will check the connections to both databases (Paradox and

MSDE) and the needed space for images and compares it with the
free space in hard disk. If there is enough space, images can be
transferred. Click Continue.

5139498-100 rev 4 Instrumentarium Dental 95

7 Upgrading CliniView

CAUTION!
Needed disk space is only an estimation and therefore it is
recommended to have at least 25% extra disk space on the target
drive comparing to the estimation.

In case there is not enough free space the program will not proceed.
Press Exit and free space from hard disk.

The program will create backup of the old database. Click OK.

The left-handed column displays patients’ birth dates in the old

database. Reformatted dates will be displayed in the right-handed
column. Use the Date reformatting tool to equalize dates. There is
several ways to do this.

• define a filter according to which all the displayed dates will be

tried to format (recommended), then click Format dates button or

96 Instrumentarium Dental 5139498-100 rev 4

 7 Upgrading CliniView

• select some of the dates and then define a filter for selected dates
or
• select one date and use the lowest edit box to reformat just this
selected date.

To select dates which are in a same format in the left-hand column

use Ctrl to pick similar dates. If there is continuous list you want to
select use Shift+arrow. To undo all selections press Esc.

It does not matter which date separator is used. Several date, which
are on the same format can be converted at the same time.

For example:

• Dates 01-03-2000, 15 06 2002 and 10/10/2001 can be selected

and fixed at the same time, if all of these dates represent the
same format dd.mm.yyyy.

Conversion tool assumes that year 00-04 represent year 2000-2004.

For example:

• Date 20/02/02 trough filter dd-mm-yy will be interpreted as 20-02-

2002.
• Date 15/03/04, using the same filter, will become 15-03-2004.

NOTE!
Equalized rows will become grayed and they will be placed at the end
of the list.

To reformat dates click the Format Dates button. Invalid dates will not
be reformatted.

If there is a date which can not be formatted with the filter, select it
from the list and correct it by using the lowest edit box and click the
Add Date button. You will be informed about invalid dates.

7.1.4 Upgrading from CliniView 3.3 DICOM to CliniView

6.x with DICOM

When upgrading CliniView 3.3 DICOM to CliniView DICOM follow the

same procedure as described in Chapter 7.1. However, conversion
will remove the study information and all images will go to the default
study. Therefore we recommend that you store the images before
conversion.

Also the CliniView DICOM configuration has to be done again.

(See Chapter 4. CliniView DICOM installation)

7.2 UPGRADING FROM CLINIVIEW VERSION 5.X

The backup of the whole database is recommended before upgrading.
(see Chapter Database backup and restore)

CliniView can be upgraded to the latest revision by running setup.exe.

First, close all softwares. Insert CliniView Installation CD into the CD
drive. In case, the autorun function does not start installation run

98 Instrumentarium Dental 5139498-100 rev 4

 7 Upgrading CliniView

Setup.exe from the CD by choosing Start =>Run and typing setup.exe.

There is no need to uninstall earlier version before upgrading.

On the server PC, where the database is located, choose "Step 1.

Install Database". CliniView recognizes that there if a database is
already installed and a maintenance window will appear:

Choose "Upgrade CliniView Database and click Next. After upgrade,

click Finish.

On the Client PC, choose Step 2. Install Cliniview and follow the
instructions of installation program.

When completed, choose whether to read the Readme file or not and
then restart the computer.

NOTE!
CliniView doesn’t start, if the database and CliniView Client are in
separate generation. If upgrading, we recommend to upgrade all:
Database, Client and Dicom (if used). If upgrading only one of these
three, we can’t guarantee the system functionality. There is no easy
“downgrade” feature, so we recommend the careful planning of
upgrading process.

NOTE!
If patient data is tranferred in to CliniView by other software, this
software must conform to applicable local laws and regulations on
patient information softwares.

8.1 INTRODUCTION
CliniView uses an initialization file called CliniView.ini. This file is
installed in %windir% folder, and %windir% is the folder where
Windows is installed, for example C:\Windows (Windows XP) or
C:\Winnt (Windows 2000).

Viewing System Variables (e.g. %windir%)

1 Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2 Double-click System.
3 On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
4 All current system variables and their associated values are listed
in the lower list.

CliniView 5.0 or later installation directory and executable path is

defined in windows registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Instrumentarium
Imaging\CliniView

• ProgramDir-CliniView path,
for example C:\Program Files\CliniView
• ExeFile- CliniView executable,
for example C:\ProgramFiles\CliniView \CliniView.exe

Earlier versions of CliniView (before 5.0) uses program directory

defined in CliniView.ini (Windows directory)

Example:

[Settings] ProgramDir=C:\ Instrumentarium Imaging\CliniView\

When you start CliniView, the settings are read from the CliniView.ini
configuration file. You are allowed to run only one instance of
CliniView on a computer at a time. If you start CliniView while
CliniView is already running, no additional instances of the program
are started. However, the already running CliniView reads the Practice
Management Interface section of the CliniView.ini file and acts
accordingly. Finally, CliniView sets all entries in the Practice
Management Interface section to 0.

The Practice Management Interface section in the CliniView.ini file is

described below.

5139498-100 rev 4 Instrumentarium Dental 101

8 Using practice management interface

The mandatory fields are:

USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT:

If set to 1, CliniView reads the Practice Management Interface section

at startup and on activation and users are not allowed to change or
add new patients manually from the CliniView user interface

CLEAR_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT_AUTOMATICALLY:

If set to 1, CliniView resets USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT and the

patient keys every time CliniView reads the cliniview.ini file. If set to 0,
CliniView does not reset (to 0) the keys.

PATID:

Patient ID shall be unique and defined by PMS software. Practice

Management Interface

PATBD defines date of birth, which shall be formatted as defined in

system regional settings.

CLEAR_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT_AUTOMATICALLY=1
USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT= 1

PATID = 00000

PATLNAME = 0

PATMNAME = 0

PATFNAME = 0

PATSOCSEC = 0

PATBD = 0

PROVIDER1 = 0

PROVIDER2= 0

ADDRESS1 = 0

ADDRESS2= 0

CITY = 0

STATE = 0

ZIP = 0

HOMEPHONE = 0

WORKPHONE = 0

FAX = 0

EMAIL1 = 0

EMAIL2 = 0

102 Instrumentarium Dental 5139498-100 rev 4

 8 Using practice management interface

Some PMS software that uses previous versions of CliniView might

require that USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT is permanently set by
the user to 1 and that
CLEAR_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT_AUTOMATICALLY=0.

It is recommended that the PMS application sets both

USE_PRACTISE_MANAGEMENT=1
and CLEAR_PRACTISE_MANAGEMENT_AUTOMATICALLY=1.

The CliniView 6.2 and later can read patient information from any ini
file if the following line is added to [PracticeManagementInterface]-
section:

BRIDGEFILE_LOCATION_OVERRIDE =C:\my_ini_file.ini.

8.2 HOW TO USE CLINIVIEW.INI

Set CLEAR_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT_AUTOMATICALLY=1, if
the PMS software automatically sets
USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT = 1. Otherwise, set the key to 0.

To add a patient:

• Set USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT = 1 ·
• Set PATID to a patient ID that does not exist in the CliniView
database yet.
• Fill in the patient data fields
• (Re)start CliniView

To alter patient information:

• Set USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT = 1
• Set PATID to match the patient whose information you wish to
change.
• Fill in the patient data fields you wish to change.
• If you do not wish to change the content of a specific data field,
set its value to 0.
• (Re)start CliniView

To preselect a patient:

• Set USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT = 1
• Set PATID to match the patient you wish to preselect.
• Set all data fields to 0.
• (Re)start CliniView

To disable the practice management interface:

• Set USE_PRACTICE_MANAGEMENT = 0

8.3 INTERFACE TO ACCESS IMAGE INFORMATION

NOTE!
If images are brought in to another software and to be used for
diagnostic purposes, this software must conform to applicable local
laws and regulations on patient information softwares.

CliniView supports external application called PMSif which provides

direct access to images in CliniView database. CliniView.ini has four
fields which can be used together with PMSif to export the image.

[Image]

ActiveImageGUID=

ActiveImageID=

LastCaptureID=

LastCaptureGUID=

Use ActiveImageGUID or ActiveImageID to export the image visible in

currently active image window from database. ActiveImageGUID is
preferred over ActiveImageID (retried). Use LatestCapturedImageID
to export latest captured (saved) image from database.

Only the latest ID’s of the saved images are shown.

LastCaptureID and LastCaptureGUID are visible after the first image

is captured.

See Instrumentarium web page to get additional information about

PMS interface.
