WESTBROOK, Maine, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEXX Laboratories,
Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX) today announced the release of IDEXX Web PACS,
cloud-based software that allows veterinarians to access diagnostic
images such as x-rays and ultrasounds from any web-enabled device,
eliminating the need for manual backup and local servers. IDEXX Web
PACS, accessible on the web through IDEXX VetConnect® PLUS,
provides centralized access to imaging results, updates
automatically and offers unlimited storage capacity for images and
their diagnostic information.
"IDEXX Web PACS is designed to make veterinarians' jobs easier
by providing an interactive tool for collaborating with colleagues
anywhere, anytime and on any device," said Dr. Heidi Fritz of Aberdeen Veterinary Clinic in
Aberdeen, Md. "We no longer need
to act as IT managers and instead can focus on improving the
standard of care for our patients with efficient image review and a
streamlined diagnostic process. This is truly a game changer for
the profession."
The new software features unique sharing capabilities that
completely transform how veterinarians can collaborate and
consult. Called Interactive Collaboration, it allows
colleagues to dynamically review, discuss and enhance images in
real time. Veterinarians can share a radiology image using the
IDEXX Web PACS software with colleagues, specialists or clients
located anywhere in the world so that others can see exactly what
the referring veterinarian is seeing. The software's graphic tools
enable virtual collaboration among participants, regardless of
whether they are users of IDEXX Web PACS. Veterinary practices can
therefore benefit from the expertise of the broadest range of
colleagues and specialists.
The software also provides advanced radiology measurement tools
as well as unlimited storage capacity for image backup to archive
patient radiographs and imaging studies. In addition, IDEXX Web
PACS integrates seamlessly with VetConnect PLUS and IDEXX
Cornerstone® Practice Management Software, providing veterinarians
with a comprehensive patient profile of diagnostic results to
ensure the most accurate diagnoses possible.
"Easy access to radiographic studies that are secure and
shareable is often crucial to making an accurate diagnosis," said
Jonathan W. Ayers, president and
chief executive officer, IDEXX Laboratories. "IDEXX Web PACS opens
the door to practicing better medicine and will enable
veterinarians to get the most out of their investment in
radiography. At IDEXX, we support the profession with diagnostic
technology that advances the standard of care in a cost-effective
manner."
IDEXX Web PACS software interfaces with other DICOM®-compliant
modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography,
dental and ultrasound, and is available on a subscription basis.
The monthly rate is determined by both the practice's imaging
volume per month and the number of imaging sources. The full IDEXX
Web PACS diagnostic tool set, image sharing and collaboration
features are included in the monthly rate.
