When opened, the Automated Bracket Removal (ABR) Options page opens:



Under ABR Processing Type, there are two options:




Scans are sent to ABR automatically unless the prescription or scan is marked not to send

With this option enabled, by default, any scan with brackets is automated evaluated and brackets removed, creating a new STL file with brackets removed.    If there is a prescription or file you don't want ABR to run, you can exclude the Rx or file.

With this option enabled, when creating or editing aRx, the option to No Process ABR is displayed.  By clicking this, scans are not sent to ABR

When a file is manually uploaded to a patient record, a prompt appears asking if you want block this file from going to ABR:

When viewing a Rx, the option displays on the left menu panel:

Select Labs to Not Process Scans


For practices, practicess can also designate certain labs as labs you don't want ABR to run, regardless if the Automatic or On-Demand Option is enabled. For example, you may be using a Tracker lab and don't want ABR to run on any scans sent to your tracker lab. Or you may wish to only have ABR run on scans sent to your In-House lab, not to any commercial lab you send cases.
