Images from the X-ray unit and the CT scanner usually end up on a disc or on a drive in the imaging room: to look at them you have to sit at one particular computer, and to show them to a colleague you burn another copy. In VetiCloud you upload the study to the visit or straight into the patient record, and from that moment it is part of the documentation — every vet in the clinic can open it, from any workstation, in an ordinary browser.
The viewer does what a vet needs while reading a study: window presets, zoom, invert, rotate, a cine loop for series, and distance, angle and ROI measurements calculated in real millimetres. For CT series there is MPR reconstruction on top of that — the same stack of slices viewed in the coronal and sagittal planes as well, with one crosshair moving all three views at once.
A study does not have to travel on a disc or a memory stick at all. Digital X-ray images are produced in the software that drives the detector — VXvue by Vieworks, for example — and it is that software VetiCloud connects to. The vet orders the study from the visit, the patient appears on the worklist at the machine, and the finished images come back into that same visit. The technician does not retype the name, species and date of birth from the second monitor, and nobody has to work out later which record the images belonged to.
