  • ✓Works over Remote Desktop and thin-client setups common in multi-location clinics.
  • ✓No conflict with vendor-specific Planmeca, Carestream, Sirona or i-CAT software.
  • ✓Opens proprietary exports without converting on the desktop first.
  • ✓Same viewer as your Mac and iPad — one workflow across the clinic.

Why IT hates desktop DICOM viewers

Most CBCT scanners ship their own Windows software — Planmeca Romexis, Carestream CS 3D, Dentsply Sirona Sidexis. Each requires install, admin rights, license keys, frequent updates and, often, dongles. Clinics with five scanners end up with five workstations because the software does not play nicely on shared machines.

Browser-based viewers eliminate the install step and the admin rights problem. Any PC with a modern browser can open any DICOM, regardless of what scanner produced it.

Performance on Windows

Modern Windows PCs have enough GPU and WebAssembly performance to run 3D CBCT rendering in the browser without issue. We recommend Edge or Chrome on Windows 10 (version 1809+) or Windows 11. Firefox works but has slightly slower WebGL in some configurations.

For clinics that process very large scans (airway or orthognathic cases at 0.2 mm voxel), we recommend a PC with at least 16 GB of RAM and a discrete GPU.

FAQ

Do I need admin rights on the clinic PC?

No. CBCTHub runs in the browser and does not install anything on the machine.

Does it work over Remote Desktop?

Yes, as long as the RDP session has GPU acceleration enabled. Most modern setups do.

Can it run alongside Romexis, CS 3D or Sidexis?

Yes. CBCTHub is a browser tab — it does not interfere with any installed vendor software.
