Most of us shy away from "Different" but all of us like a "Better" version of what we already have and know.
The Metron you have and know is again getting "Better". And this round is a
"Big Better".
Touch screen is prime time!
The Metron true touch screen functionality is here, including the ever popular "Pinch, Zoom, and Pan". This touch screen functionality is the full Metron tailored to the slick tablet style. Because it is still Metron, your touch screen device does need to be running a touch screen enabled Windows OS. (The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is excellent).

Facebook
You can now post Metron images right to your hospital Facebook account. Facebook has become a popular social medium for veterinary practices. In fact, many practices now use their company Facebook as their hospital websites. In typical fashion - just one "Metron" click and the image is now on your Facebook web page.

Want to auto-import photographs?
Now just snap your pictures and one-click import to the active Metron study - quick and easy.
Auto-export images.
We have long had the option to export images to folders, servers, external devices, and even "cloud" folders like Drop Box. With "auto-export", you can automatically direct a copy of every image you create to your favorite destination.
How about a "Login System"? An optional feature, you can now require your staff to login to the Metron system just like you do with your practice management software. The big benefit to the login system is that it supports three classes of users: Administrator, Veterinarian/Physician, and Operator. The Administrator can configure the privileges of the other two classes. For example, veterinarian users can perform all actions, but operator users may not be allowed to post to the Web-Viewer, or perhaps, not allowed to delete images. Configure privileges however you wish! You can also know who took the X-Rays, who deleted X-Rays, and more.
Though you would think we must be getting tired, we are just getting started. We will be back soon to share more insight to the "Big Better" Metron and the new 7.2 features.
