| Frequently Asked Questions |
1. Is CADI® a digital x-ray system?
Yes, though CADI® is different and does
more than other digital x-ray systems,
part of CADI® is a digital x-ray system.
In comparison, most other digital x-ray
and imaging software is designed to
operate a single piece or brand of equipment.
Essentially, you buy the equipment and
use the software that comes with it.
CADI® was designed not only to be a digital
x-ray product, but a multi-media product,
and solves many of the limitations associated
with alternative solutions.

5. Will
CADI® integrate to my practice management
system?
Practice management:
CADI® can integrate with virtually ANY
practice management software. We can
do this by a variety of methods, even
if the practice management product doesn’t
directly integrate into CADI®. If you
use a custom practice management product,
we will supply a developer’s kit
to your practice management developer.
There is no additional charge for this
kit or for any integration options from CADI®.

6. Can
I operate CADI® without having practice
management software running in my operatories?
Yes. CADI® is supplied with its own patient
database, which can be used in place
of your practice management database.
Many practitioners prefer this option,
as they only want to use CADI® in the
operatories. If you want to do scheduling
or other practice management functions
in the operatory, you may be better
to use the integration option above.
There is no additional charge for the
CADI® database.

9. Do
you recommend tablet PCs or wireless
products?
In most cases, CADI® will become such
an integral part of your everyday routine
that it is best to have a hard-wired
network with powerful up-to-date tower
computers in your operatories. Remember
that you will may have multiple
digital x-ray products, intra-oral cameras,
practice management, patient education
software and maybe more, all running
together. A hard-wired network and equipment
will perform best.
