Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Scan
This guide is focused on helping you navigate how to add a scan, take a scan, and save your scan using the FusiformSCAN app.
1. Select the “+” icon at the bottom-right of the screen from either the “Home” or the “Scans” tab
You may also select the “+” icon from the bottom-right of a patient overview page if a patient card has already been selected. Skip to step #5 if a patient has already been selected.
2. Select the “Add Scan” button
3. If you want to add a scan to an existing patient
Use the search bar to search for the existing patient
Select the patient that you want to add a scan to

If you need to adjust the Resolution filter, select the “Resolution” icon and adjust resolution range. Adjusting the resolution range can be updated based on the size of the object that you are scanning.
7. Approve your scan by selecting “Save Scan”. If you are not happy with your scan, select "Discard" to re-start taking your scan.

At default, the scan name is the patient’s “firstName_lastName_date_uniqueNumber”

Once you've completed your scan, you can create an order using the Web portal (clinic.fusiform.co). See our guide on How to Add an Order while using FusiformSCAN for help with creating an order.
