Comments are the way to converse about an exam without leaving it. The center and the referrer can leave messages that stay attached to the study. The difference with regular email is that each comment can be anchored to a specific slice — when opened, the viewer jumps exactly to that slice.

How to leave a comment
1
In the viewer, navigate to the slice where you want to leave the comment (axial, sagittal, coronal, panoramic — the view does not matter).
2
Open the comments panel with the side icon (or press C if you have the shortcut active).
3
Write the message in the text box.
4
Check Anchor to current slice if you want the reader to jump straight to this slice. If you do not check it, the comment stays as a general message on the exam.
5
Click Send. The center or the referrer (whoever is logged in) gets a notification.
TipReplaces the classic email with “check slice 78, the contact looks better there”. Here slice 78 opens automatically when clicking the message — less friction, less back-and-forth.
Notifications
When someone comments on an exam of yours (or one you are involved in), CBCTHub sends a notification:
· In-app: badge on the header bell with the unread count.
· By email: if you have the “New message” toggle enabled in Settings › Notifications.
NotaIf you mentioned a collaborator with @mention inside the comment (typing their email), they also receive an email, even if they are not a center member.
CasoSecond opinion on a finding
Center: opens the exam, goes to the slice with the lesion, leaves an anchored comment: “Dr. Perez — what do you think of this area? Image compatible with a periapical lesion but I wanted your opinion”. Tags @drperez (colleague's email).
Dr. Perez: receives the email, clicks the link, opens the viewer directly at slice 78 with the comments panel open. Replies “Yes, clearly apical lesion. I'd go with endodontic surgery”.
Center: sees the reply in the bell, opens the exam, continues where they left off.
