Our Metron Web-Viewer has been a great "free" feature since February, 2011 and getting more popular every day This asset utilizes the internet "Cloud" to distribute and share images with those who you share a valid user ID.
The first reason why the Web-Viewer is Cool - "Just click to send and click to open". You can preset the User ID so that detail is already entered when you mark your images and click the "Send Images" button.
Cool reason #2 - the Web-Viewer is very easy to learn. Its role is to provide a quick and easy view of an image acquired in Metron from any computer connected to the Internet.

Not a back-up - Though a great tool for quick image display, the Web-Viewer is not a "cloud back-up" feature. Images sent to the Web-Viewer are available for only 7 days. After Day 7 they are deleted from the Web-Viewer host site. If you have the iPad or iPhone app for Metron, you can grab studies from the Web-Viewer and then keep them on your mobile device for as long as you wish.
We can advise you about other back-up options that are local and cloud based. Learn more on the support site, email us directly or give us a call at 1-877-638-3868 ext. 21
Not a diagnostic image viewer - while the Metron Web-Viewer is cool, it is not a high resolution diagnostic image viewer. Metron converts the original image to a JPEG file and then transports that image to the Web-Viewer hosting site. Though the difference may be minor, it is important that you send yourself a few images and then compare the original Metron images to the Web-Viewer image on the same computer.
A lot of practices are now using the Web-Viewer as their tool of choice for exam room image presentation to pet owners - a great use of the Web-Viewer! Alternatively, you may want to implement a Metron Viewstation for your doctors to display images in full fidelity and functionality
More cool - the Metron iPad and iPhone app is part of the same Web-Viewer capability. Display an image right on your iPad - just click to send and click to open.
Select the image(s) in the study (so it has a red border), then click the "Send Images" button.
This confirmation pop-up message shown will also appear on your screen. 
If you do not have one of these calibration aids, there are other techniques available including "Pick 2 Points" and Known Pixel Pitch. The "Pick 2 Points" method is a manual mark and measure between two known points in the image such as a 3-inch wire. 
The "Known Pixel Pitch" method is a smart Metron calculation based on the distance between the X-Ray generator and the object of interest. This method requires some study before setting the needed values and it requires adjusting whenever any of the related distances change.
