Performance comparison in workflow efficiency between a remotely installed 3D workstation and an on-premises image processing workstation for dental cone-beam CT image reconstruction.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the image processing times of dental cone beam CT (CBCT) images using a remote medical image processing workstation (RW) versus on-premises image processing (OP) and assess its impact on workflow efficiency. Methods: Data from 100 CBCT cases were randomly selec...

      ab: Objectives: This study aims to compare the image processing times of dental cone beam CT (CBCT) images using a remote medical image processing workstation (RW) versus on-premises image processing (OP) and assess its impact on workflow efficiency. Methods: Data from 100 CBCT cases were randomly selected and processed using the OP3D VISION 17-19DX (EH Japan Co., Ltd.). In the OP environment, OnDemand 3D Dental (Cybermed Inc.) was used on a local terminal, while the RW setup involved a remote workstation—ZIO STATION (Ziosoft Inc.) connected via a 2 Gbps network. Seven experienced dentists processed the same data in both environments, and various processing times, including data transfer, re-slicing, 3D reconstruction, and PACS transfer, were compared. Results: The RW environment showed significantly shorter data transfer and re-slicing times than the OP environment. However, 3D image reconstruction times were similar between the two setups. Overall, processing time was significantly reduced in the RW environment. Variability in processing times among operators was observed, with most achieving reductions in the RW environment. Conclusions: Remote processing of dental CBCT images using a dedicated image processing device offers equivalent or improved performance compared to on-premises processing. This approach can enhance workflow efficiency by reducing processing times and freeing up local resources, although further research is needed to optimize remote display protocols and multi-client access.
