Greetings!

Metron 7 Single Image View Oh...it is coming!

Metron 7.0 ... 

the same and better! 

 

This new Metron is the same on the surface.  It continues to work just as you like it.   Underneath we are adding some new technologies that help to make your diagnostic image even more diagnostic. 

 

Also with Metron 7.0, we are adding more DICOM features.   Need Metron to be a PACS?  In this new Metron, you will have access to many of the most important PACS features. 

 

Metron will have coverage for more species; histogram trimming will be available to
the user as an image tuning tool, improved Auto-Crop and Multi-View. And Metron has now incorporated a new Exposure Index based on the new international standard IEC-624941-1 and helps imaging technicians obtain proper exposure.

 

Metron 7.0 - In with the new! Coming soon!

Have you backed up today?
Your computer, that is.
Cloud Backup

Yes, I did it too.....

 

The guy that writes to you regularly about backups... yes me.  I broke my own rule - backup every day.  I made it really easy, just plug in the external hard disk cable and it does the rest. 

  

Only requirement - plug in the cable.

 

Saturday morning I started my day with big work plans and the important tool - my computer.  Instead, the ticking noise and locked up Windows screen turned into time on the phone with Dell-India and a screw driver to my laptop.  With additional tech tricks I fully analyzed the scope of my troubles.  The laptop hard disk was very dead.  I did not have a backup since two weeks prior and I had some important files that I needed next to figure out how to recreate or recover off of other computers and emails. 

 

Needless to say I was not happy with me and the rest of the world.

 

In addition to other precautions I am implementing for my own sanity, I am adding our "Cloud Backup" to my own computer.  Now I need not even plug it in.    Hmm...  How else can I protect myself from me and all of these gadgets we live with?  

 

Did someone say "New Year's Resolution?"

 

To thank you for helping....
 
Donation Dog
A limited December renewal campaign generated a nice donation to a national animal relief fund...a fund designed to assist so many animals but also those who may have needed some extra loving and assistance due to Hurricane Sandy. 
 
The team at Metron Support Services is proud to support you and others!

Support Services Tips

Last month, we showed you how to add a note to your image.  Once you have done that, you can also decide where you want the arrow to start from the text.  Within the Free Mark-Up option, select the radial button for the arrow start location....

 

Add Note

 

...it will then start the arrow at that point.
