Do Cone Beam CT Picture Archiving and Communication Systems Viewer Interfaces Meet the Expectations of Dental Professionals From a Usability Perspective?

Background Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has revolutionized dental and maxillofacial imaging by providing high-resolution 3D visualizations, essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Despite its clinical advancements, the usability of CBCT viewer interfaces, which play a crucial role in the effective interpretation of imaging data, remains a critical concern. Objective This study aims to evaluate the usability of a CBCT viewer interface in clinical settings, focusing on the effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction perspectives, to identify potential areas for improvement.
