Metron Support Services Metron - keeps getting better because we work together! Certainly we all are in business to make money - but most of us in business need to apply our attention and best efforts in ways that "just money" cannot motivate. How can we be innovative, collaborative, and friendly if we are just about money? Metron is a great example of a product that exists and gets better every day because we love what we do and who we work with. You, the client, are a critical part of our own work satisfaction. It is your input and feedback that helps to fuel our drive to be excellent. Don't be shy - let us know what you want in diagnostic imaging software. We don't know unless you tell us and we certainly want to keep impressing you with more, better, faster - because we love hearing you say, "This software is awesome!"

| Adding General Text to an Image
with Free Mark-Up
Best Practices - By Gregg Michalski, Helpdesk Technician
 Free Mark-Up allows you to add notes and measurements to your image. I have been asked many times how to add text within an image.   People want to add general text to the images to point out specific items on the x-ray - highlighting for themselves and others that will be viewing the image.  There are a number of other Free Mark-Up capabilities that are used in equine and small animal practices. The Cobb angle measurement is used by many equine veterinarians to evaluate the hoof. David Kolb, DVM at Lodi Veterinary Hospital, says they use it all the time to help prevent and eliminate lameness with the horses. They believe it is a very important measurement feature in all evaluations  A recent feature added is the ability to work on the current mark-up without having to click on the mark-up on the image itself. At the bottom right of the Free Mark-Up window, you are able to move between mark-ups on your image, reset the movement handle, and delete the current mark-up on the screen. Free Mark-Up just happens to be one of the many Online Training Sessions that we have produced for you and your staff to review. Please feel free to take a look on our support website and click "Online Training". It is that easy. |
