Where a finding actually lives: on the image

Instead of a text line reading "possible caries, lower right," the region itself is outlined on the radiograph. Click it, and a panel opens with the tooth number, the finding, and the model's confidence.

The problem it solves

Reports get read once. Images get looked at again and again

Most AI imaging tools produce a report: a list of findings, maybe a confidence score, disconnected from the image itself. The dentist reads it once, then goes back to looking at the actual film to verify anything that matters — which means the report and the image are two separate objects competing for attention.

Oralytix skips the report entirely. Findings are drawn as highlighted regions directly on the radiograph the dentist is already looking at. There's nothing to cross-reference, because the finding and the image are the same view.

How it works

Click a region, get everything you need

Every candidate region the AI flags gets a visible boundary on the image itself. Selecting one opens a compact panel with three pieces of information, every time, in the same place: which tooth, what the finding is in plain language, and how confident the model is.

Sample finding
Tooth 26 — existing restoration
Consistent radiopacity matching a prior restoration on file. No action suggested.
96% model confidence
Why it's built this way

Three design decisions behind the overlay

  1. 01

    Click-through, not scroll-through

    The dentist inspects flagged regions directly instead of scanning the whole image from scratch, tooth by tooth.

  2. 02

    Confidence shown plainly

    Every finding carries a model-confidence figure, so a 52% candidate reads differently than a 96% one — never a flat "detected" label that hides the difference.

  3. 03

    Explainable by design

    Because a finding is anchored to a visible region, it's easy to check against the actual image, not just take on faith. If the highlight doesn't match what's there, that's immediately obvious.

Where this leads

Every overlay finding flows straight into dentist review and approval — the click-through view is how a finding gets inspected before it's confirmed, dismissed, or modified.

Common questions

Common questions about the overlay

Does the overlay work on panoramic, bitewing, and periapical images?
Yes — the same overlay and review panel pattern applies across all supported image types. The underlying detection differs by modality; the interaction doesn't.
Can more than one finding be highlighted on the same image?
Yes. A single scan can carry multiple flagged regions, each independently reviewable — a full-mouth series commonly returns several.
What happens to a region that isn't flagged?
Nothing — the absence of a highlight isn't itself a finding. The overlay marks candidates worth a closer look; it doesn't certify the rest of the image as clear.
