Exporting DICOM files (.dcm) from Morita
To prepare a CBCT case for submission, export the scan as a DICOMDIR into a dedicated patient folder and do not skip the final step—compressing the folder into a ZIP file. Below are the general steps (the full step-by-step guide with screenshots is available in the PDF linked on this page).
