# Locate Missing 2D Panoramic Images in DentiMax Advanced Imaging

## Problem
A patient's 2D panoramic images are missing from DentiMax Advanced Imaging software. The technician located the patient's imaging folder structure at `\\DATA-SVR\DentiMax Imaging\patients` but was uncertain which folder format contained the actual image files or where else to search for the missing panoramic image.

The patient folder structure shows multiple directories with naming convention `DANSOALIZA_DDDF_FFF3` and `DANSOALIZA_DDDF_FFF367b5f152`, containing various DentiMax file types including `.Auto`, `.AutoStamp`, `.AutoXVTAG`, and patient definition files (`.XVAPD`, `.XVAEI`, `.XVAFM`), along with an `OriginalImages.XVA` folder.

## Resolution
1. Navigate to `\\DATA-SVR\DentiMax Imaging\patients` and locate the patient's folder(s)
2. Check inside the `OriginalImages.XVA` folder within the patient directory - this typically contains the actual image files
3. Look for additional patient folders with extended naming conventions (the longer folder name `DANSOALIZA_DDDF_FFF367b5f152` may contain more recent images than the shorter `DANSOALIZA_DDDF_FFF3`)
4. Verify file modification dates to determine which folder contains the most recent imaging session
5. If images are still not found, check other potential locations within the DentiMax imaging directory structure

The investigation was ongoing at the time of the thread, so a complete resolution was not documented.
