dicomPACS® Vet DX-R Acquisition and Diagnostic Software

Description

dicomPACS^®DX-R is a professional acquisition software for X-ray images generated by various flat panel systems (DR) and CR units (computed radiography with imaging plates). The software also controls the operation of X-ray generators and X-ray units manufactured by diverse companies, thus ensuring an efficient and orderly workflow. The straightforward and user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface) functions via touchscreen and mouse. dicomPACS^®DX-R produces images of outstanding quality and can be adapted to special customer needs. High-performance image processing allows organ-specific optimisation.

Everyday medical care is made easier by an array of integrated functions (e.g., a multimedia X-ray positioning guide) and an intuitive design. dicomPACS^®DX-R software can readily be integrated with existing information management systems. Furthermore, X-ray images can be evaluated using the dicomPACS®viewer module included in the acquisition software. Thus, the system functions as a fully-fledged diagnostic workstation with the option to upgrade to a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System).

Make dicomPACS^®DX-R the linchpin of your direct digital X-ray system – be it a new unit with generator control, a retrofit of an existing X-ray machine, or a portable suitcase solution for mobile X-ray generators.

General benefits and features of the *dicom**PACS^®DX-R* software

User friendliness and smooth workflow:

Modern graphical user interface (GUI) adaptable to almost any language
Touchscreen operation – ensures a quick, efficient and orderly workflow
Patient data are captured via DICOM Worklist, BDT/GDT, HL7 or other protocols – data can also be captured manually
DICOM procedure codes are used to transfer all records relevant to an examination directly from associated information management systems (e.g., HIS/RIS)
Over 400 projections and a multitude of adjustment parameters are available to facilitate visualizing images of animal body parts stored in the system
Safe and quick registration of emergency patients
Scheduled examination order can be revised post factum in order to avoid frequent patient repositioning
Images can be appended to records even after examinations are complete
Special features for veterinary medicine, including a dialogue box for patient and owner data, integrated hip dysplasia measurements, special image filters, multi-generator operation for alternating between mobile and stationary X-ray systems and much more…
Using an algorithm based on artificial intelligence (AI), the HD measurement is inserted automatically. The survey can then be edited manually.
Additional special functions for veterinary medicine
User-defined macros for recurring examinations, e.g. pre-purchase examination for horses
Fully integrated radiographic positioning guide for all examinations with comprehensive notes, photographs, videos and sample X-ray images
Wireless remote control of digital X-ray system, with display of worklist, image thumbnails and much more…

Flexible image acquisition:

Integration of various flat panel and CR systems by different manufacturers for static and dynamic X-ray [more about dynamic X-ray]
Up to three flat panel detectors (Bucky, wall stand and portable) can be connected to one system
The generator interface of the software can be configured to control the X-ray generators and X-ray systems of diverse manufacturers.
The software offers parallel operation of flat panel and CR systems. The user determines which device will capture the next image. Excellent fail-safe option in case of a defect flat panel detector.
AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) and ARP (Anatomical Programmed Radiography) automatically set X-ray parameter values for each exposure; manual adjustments can easily be made
Integration of dose area product meters (DAP) – settings are saved directly to relevant image
Electronic X-ray log (optional)
