IDEXX direct digital system makes debut

ORLANDO — IDEXX Laboratories introduces a direct-to-digital radiography system for the companion animal market.

The IDEXX 1417 Direct Digital Radiography System becomes available June 30 and provides extraordinary image sharpness in seconds to support faster, more accurate diagnosis.

The full-size 14-in. by 17-in. digital radiography technology plate used in the 1417 system uniquely captures X-rays without the need of a scintillator or intensifier, thereby delivering an enhanced level of image sharpness and clarity, the company reports. Images can be viewed within seconds and can be easily adjusted, annotated, stored, printed and transferred via IDEXX-PACS software, the company's DICOM- conformant with open-communication software used in both DR and CR systems. The software is designed to link seamlessly with IDEXX Cornerstone Practice Management Software, allowing practices to quickly and easily:

• Electronically create and capture all vital patient history, treatment and digital images.

• Manage and review important medical records, including images in one integrated format on office computers.

• Store all patient history from test to images on removable media or a dedicated server, eliminating lost files and separate X-ray film storage rooms.

• Send digital images and patient records electronically to off-site locations for rapid diagnosis and comprehensive specialty consultation.
