    Hi, I a received my CBCT file in DICOM format from the doc I work with that has a Cone beam. The issue I am running into is converting the DICOM into a file that I can open it in Blue Sky Bio. Do you have any recommendations on how I can convert the file? So far I can only view the file using a separate app called “Bee Dicom Viewer”. Thank you in advance!

    Glad you got it! BSB can read DICOM datasets as is

    If my office only uses implant direct, how do I select for that implant on BSB?

      Hey conner, did you get this resolved?

      Luckily it’s a simple fix. BSB has a library of almost every implant out there. BUT just in the off-chance that they don’t have the exact implant you are using, it is safe to pick an implant that is similar in size. Or you can create a custom implant size for your planning. In general, try to match up the dimensions–manufactureres largely use the same implant sizes so you will probably be able to find something that matches up well.

      Also, if in doubt, select an implant in BSB that has the same platform as the one you are placing. If you have trouble, I’m happy to hop on a zoom call with you.

    I’m not familiar with BSB anymore but they would have to have the library for it, I’d be kind of shocked if they didn’t
