Capture, view, store and share radiographs with veterinary-specific EquiView PACS® Imaging Software

Making a confident, accurate diagnosis is easier when you have complete control of your radiographs. To that end, IDEXX EquiView PACS® Imaging Software delivers superior image quality and easy-to-use, intuitive functions.

Equine-specific software

We’ve designed IDEXX EquiView PACS (picture archiving and communication system) software specifically for veterinary imaging with the help of independent, board-certified veterinary radiologists. It’s DICOM®-conformant and meets the American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR) guidelines for imaging.

An investment in medicine, revenue and client relationships

The near- and long-term financial benefits of digital radiography

Digital radiography may be more affordable than you think. And the immediate diagnostic benefits of transitioning may surprise you—including superior diagnostic detail and faster decision making. Better still: There can be a considerable tax benefit.

Digital radiography is also a significant revenue generator. Plus, quickly finding answers and starting treatment before your patient leaves your practice shows clients you care about them—and can help build long-term loyalty that in turn generates referrals.

Profitable

Digital imaging could increase your revenue by 30% or more.1 The following chart illustrates increased revenue potential.

Affordable

Use our Interactive Economic Model to calculate how a digital radiography system could fit into your budget. This easy-to-use tool compares the economics of digital radiography versus film. And keep in mind some other bottom-line benefits of converting to digital radiography:

• No processor lease or purchase costs
• The environmental benefits of chemical-free image processing
• Recaptured square footage and costs for dark-room space and x-ray film storage

Six reasons to go green by going digital

Switching from film to an IDEXX Digital Imaging system doesn’t just save time and money. You’ll no longer need toxic processing chemicals, and that helps the environment and your practice in at least six ways:

1. No toxic chemicals to get into the water or soil.
2. A safer workplace for employees.
3. No more costly regulatory fees for disposing of toxic processing chemicals.
4. No more hazardous waste contracts, special filtering systems or septic tanks for biohazard disposal and storage.
5. Decreased insurance liability.
6. Positive perception among patients and the community that you run an eco-friendly veterinary practice.

Tax advantages

The Federal government has extended key provisions of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 into 2009. And, as Gary I. Glassman, CPA, points out, your practice could qualify for significant tax savings (PDF) when you invest in in-house diagnostics such as an IDEXX Digital Imaging System.*

Per IRS tax code section 179, you can immediately deduct up to $250,000 for calendar-year 2009 expenses, as long as total purchases are below $800,000. Alternatively a temporary tax incentive that allows you to immediately deduct 50% of the cost.

The archived Webinar Smart Practice Investments in a Tight Economy at the IDEXX Learning Center explains more about the tax advantages of investing in in-house diagnostics.
