I can appreciate the benefit. However, as I just found out after changing dentists. Many vendors have developed proprietary software that (as I am told my new dentist) saves images (of dental X-rays) in formats not interpreted by competing software. Without standardization so data and images can be read and interpreted widely, this effort is a waste of time and money. If the industry cannot come on board and save data in standard files, then they should be kicked in the head and forced to address data portability.
