Original Press Release:
VetDRS(TM), The Veterinary Direct Radiography System
Wilmington, Delaware-August 5, 2002-The VetDRS(TM), the veterinary direct radiography system developed by Bluegrass Veterinary Technologies LLC of Wilmington, Delaware, uses a flat-panel Varian array to digitally capture a diagnostic-quality radiographic image and send it by cable to a computer for storing and viewing-all in less than twenty seconds. The VetDRS(TM) is the first veterinary direct radiology product to replace X-ray film, which requires a chemical processor for development, or methods involving digital scanning.
The 8"x10" array is easy for equine and field veterinarians to use with animals in a barn. A light aluminum frame protectively encases the array. Optional handles allow veterinarians to position the array while standing away from the X-ray beam and the animal. Radiographic images appear immediately on a laptop computer. All VetDRS(TM) components-array, handles, cable, power cord and laptop computer-fit inside a carrying case. This portable system uses the veterinarian's own X-ray generator and 110-volt power.
In the small animal clinic, the 12"x16" array mounts permanently in the X-ray table; replacing film cassettes. The veterinarian views radiographic images immediately on a monitor.
Images can be viewed on either diagnostic or PC monitors; printed on laser, inkjet or medical grade printers; archived digitally or transmitted over Internet.
The VetDRS(TM) software allows management of a high-volume of radiographs and adjustment of image contrast, brightness and edge sharpness.
University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine's New Bolton Center and Small Animal Clinic, and individual veterinarians and veterinary clinics successfully tested the VetDRS(TM).
