Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about CBCTHub — the viewer, security, plans, and everything in between.

General

What is CBCTHub?+

CBCTHub is a cloud-based CBCT viewer that replaces CD delivery with secure shareable links. It runs entirely in your browser with 100% local processing. No installation required.

Which CBCT scanners are compatible?+

CBCTHub works with any scanner that exports standard DICOM files — Carestream, Planmeca, Vatech, Sirona, Morita, NewTom, Instrumentarium, PreXion, DENTSPLY, KaVo, and many more.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. CBCTHub runs entirely in your browser. Sign up, upload your DICOM files, start viewing. No plugins, no downloads, no install.

How do I get started?+

Make a free account, create a study, upload your DICOM files. Your scans are ready in seconds. Share a study with a patient or colleague by copying the link.

Which file formats do you support?+

Standard DICOM files (.dcm, .dicom, .ima) and compressed archives (ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR.GZ) that contain them. Almost every CBCT system exports one of these.

Does it work on mobile?+

The full viewer is built for desktop and laptop screens, where you have room for every tool. Shared study pages are fully responsive and work on tablets and phones for viewing.

Viewer & Features

What views are in the viewer?+

Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) with three perpendicular planes, panoramic curve reconstruction (adjustable 1–40 mm), free-rotation oblique slices, and high-resolution cross-sections.

Can I measure in the viewer?+

Yes. Precise millimeter measurement tools for implant planning, bone assessment, and clinical documentation. Measurements are saved with the study.

Can I use CBCTHub for implant planning?+

Yes. CBCTHub includes the tools implant workup needs: 3D visualization, distance measurements, bone density assessment, and angulation analysis.

Is image processing done locally or on your servers?+

All image processing happens 100% in your browser via WebAssembly. DICOM files never hit our servers. Only lightweight metadata is uploaded, for organization.

What is the WebAssembly viewer?+

WebAssembly lets complex image processing run inside the browser at near-native speed. That's how we keep your DICOM data private and the viewer fast.

Can I annotate findings?+

Yes. Pin comments to specific slices. Every comment has a shareable deep link. Export findings as professional PDF reports with annotations.

Security & Privacy

Are my DICOM files secure?+

Yes. DICOM processing is 100% in-browser, so the files never hit our servers. Anything stored in the cloud uses AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.

Where are my files stored?+

Cloudflare R2 with AES-256 encryption. The database runs on Supabase with encrypted connections. Both services meet international security standards.

Is CBCTHub HIPAA compliant?+

CBCTHub runs on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with encryption, audit logs, and access controls. Contact us to set up a business associate agreement (BAA).

Do you use my images to train AI?+

No. Your DICOM files are used for visualization and storage, period. We never use them for AI training, analytics, or any commercial purpose. It's written into our privacy policy.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?+

All data is permanently deleted within 30 days. Encrypted backups are purged within another 30 days. This action can't be undone.

Can I control who sees my shared studies?+

Yes. Shared links are temporary and expire automatically. Recipients can only view — they can't download, modify, or reshare. You stay in control.

Plans & Billing

What plans are available?+

Three plans: Free (3 studies, 1 GB), Pro (unlimited studies, 100 GB), and Max (unlimited studies, 1 TB, advanced features). Every plan includes study sharing.

Can I change my plan anytime?+

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade any time from your dashboard. The change takes effect immediately and is prorated on your next bill.

What happens if I downgrade?+

Your studies aren't deleted. Studies over the new plan's limit become inaccessible until you delete some or upgrade again. You can always reactivate access.

Is there a free trial?+

The free plan gives you 3 CBCT studies and 1 GB of storage, with every core feature, so you can evaluate the platform before paying anything.

What payment methods do you accept?+

All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) plus regional payment methods. No annual contracts — cancel anytime.
