"We wanted to offer a robust and affordable foundation for our client'sdigital imaging and image management needs," said Rob Royea, vice president ofsales for Eklin. "RapidStudy Plus is based on an open architecture whichallows our clients to scale as their practices grow or change. For example,should a veterinarian wish to add on a digital image reading room, they couldeasily connect workstations to the system and view images in the reading roomor anywhere throughout the clinic using our enterprise eFilm solution."

Just as digital cameras have made photography easier and more efficient byeliminating film, DR systems provide the veterinarian with a radiographicimage that can be viewed immediately onsite or at a review workstation,including a high-resolution monitor, without the need for film development. DRsystems also offer sophisticated image processing tools, giving the doctormuch greater depth of information that can be enlarged or manipulated for farbetter detail, resulting in closer scrutiny of potential areas of concern.Eklin's 14"x17" imaging sensor panel provides the largest full imaging surfacein the market and is equally suitable for large dogs or small cats.
Equally critical is the ability to electronically store, archive andretrieve digital radiographs quickly and efficiently. In this wayveterinarians can quickly compare treatment progress between previousradiographs and current images. Additionally, the RapidStart Plus system isfully DICOM compliant allowing its seamless integration with the practice'sother imaging modalities.
"All of our technologies, including the RapidStart Plus system, are basedon DICOM standards which are rapidly becoming the gold standard in veterinarycare," said Royea. "This compliance provides seamless integration of apractice's digital imaging modalities, PACS and practice management software."
The RapidStart Plus system's built-in DICOM eFilm diagnostic workstation,together with the multi-modality PACS server, provides storage, retrieval andviewing of any DICOM imaging studies such as DR, ultrasound, MRI and CT. Thesystem has a dual high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, RAID-1 redundanthard disk system and an external back-up device. Images can also be storedoff-site using Eklin's RapidPACS (TM) Web Edition service which can also scalewith practice growth or as needed.
