I do not have a key file, but I urgently need to access ImplaStation. How can I do this?

Create an empty file named implastation and the .imkey extension (implstation.imkey) and place it in the ImplaStation folder. It is placed on the C drive by default. Cloud service and guide generation will not work in full.

I can not open the DICOM file. What should I do?

Check if the file has the extension dcm. If the computer tomography file has a .vol extension, it is recorded in a different format that is not available for use in ImplaStation. Contact the appropriate scanning center to overwrite the data in the open DICOM format.Some versions of the tomographic software store DICOM files without specifying an extension. Such files are opened without additional renaming and adding extensions, as usual DICOM-files.Save the CT DICOM file to a separate folder and try again.
