New Metron 7.20 is almost done! We are diligently testing this new version and we too are getting very excited.
We have mentioned some of the new Metron 7.20 features in previous monthly newsletters. Here's a glimpse of the new look.
Surgery planning templates.
Use visual templates to simulate the actual sizing and positioning of specific surgery tools. The templating interface simulates the use of specific implants. For example, Metron simulates the Kyon TTA implants such as Plate, Cage, Screw, and Fork. Metron also presents the actual manufacturer part numbers being used in the planning simulation.
After taking the X-Ray, the user needs to use the related Metron Guided Mark-Up such as Tibial Tuberosity Advancement analysis (TTA) on a canine stifle to establish the needed linear and angle measurements. Once the measurements are completed, the templating tools are a quick snap to pick and position. Metron does most of the work quickly and accurately.
We will be introducing a quick "Surgery Planning Templates" training video in the next month and will be highlighted in the May newsletter.

Report Generation in Metron
The Metron "Report" tool is another quick and easy interface to create a document that contains X-Ray and photo images surrounded by relevant text.
Have you ever created a report from a patient study? You are able to choose from one of the many templates to create your report and cover page information. Within the report you have options to type patient and study details, add images, forms, captions and comments to provide a complete diagnostic review for your clients and peers.
Be sure to review other training videos located in the Learning Center. Always available when you want to use them!

Opinions of your colleagues!
"My only regret is that I waited! This system is so easy to use and has such superior diagnostic imaging I hate thinking about reading our old films. We immediately noticed, too, how the efficiency of the whole process is making our daily workload run smoother. No more admitting patients or making their owners wait till we can find time to take-develop-dry- (and sometimes re-take) films. We are now taking radiographs and back with the owners discussing results within 10 minutes or less. The decrease in the number of "re-takes" to get that one diagnostic view is also decreasing radiation exposure for everyone involved."
