🌐 Sonio 3D Workflow Guide
The 3D Workflow in Sonio allows you to seamlessly open, view, edit, and re-upload 3D DICOM ultrasound files using your locally installed 3D viewer. This is designed as a “one-click” experience, so you can move between Sonio and your desktop tools without extra steps.
✅ Getting Started
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- Access to Sonio with your login credentials
- The Sonio local application installed on your desktop
- A 3D DICOM viewer (e.g., GE 4D Viewer, Voluson software) already installed
🔄 Step-by-Step Workflow
- Select a file in Sonio
- Log in to Sonio and open the exam or patient record
- Choose the 3D/4D image file you want to review (a 3D tag is displayed on the tile)

-
- Click “Open in Viewer”

-
- The file will open in your installed 3D DICOM viewer with no extra steps

-
- Use your 3D viewer to crop, rotate, measure, or enhance the volume
- Save your edits directly within the 4D viewer, and then export to send to Sonio
- Click the floppy disk icon or go to file
- Then select “Dicom send” for Dicom Image and Measurements
- or… select Export as JPEG image (no Measurements)

-
- Once you save, the file is automatically re-uploaded back into Sonio.
- You’ll see the updated version attached to the patient’s report.
- Once you save, the file can also be exported back to DICOM and/or be a jpeg export
🌟 Key Benefits
- One-Click Simplicity → No need to manually download and re-upload files
- Integrated Workflow → Work directly with your preferred 3D viewer while staying connected to Sonio
- Time Savings → Edits and uploads happen in the background
🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips
- File doesn’t open?
- Check that your 3D viewer is installed and set as the default application for DICOM files
- Edits not showing in Sonio?
- Confirm you clicked Save in your 3D viewer
- Ensure the Sonio local app is running in the background
- Slow upload?
- Large 3D files may take extra time depending on your internet speed
📌 The Sonio 3D Workflow bridges your ultrasound machine, Sonio Web, and your local 3D viewer into a single, smooth process. With one click, you can open, edit, and re-upload 3D ultrasound images without breaking your report flow.
