CloudDR High Definition Digital Radiography
The case for Direct Digital Radiography is compelling. In fact, widespread adoption of this digital technology will forever change veterinary imaging, in much the same way that digital cameras defeated film, smart-phones displaced cell phones, and GPS marginalized paper maps. The case for delay has been refuted. The time is now. From today until your upgrade, every film taken effectively increases your costs. Every overdosed film exposure, retake, chemical, processor failure, and envelope storage of a film makes our industry less friendly to the environment. The only questions that remain are those of choice. Which technology and specifications? Which standards? Which vendor? Which price point? Which decision principles?

CloudDR High Definition Digital Radiography
At Cuattro, our founders' design, technology, philosophy, image algorithm, service, and software "fingerprints" can be found on over 7,000 flat-panel direct-digital-radiography systems in veterinary hospitals, around the globe. Digital radiography is no longer new nor risky. It is good medicine and good business. Some thoughts and guidelines on moving forward:
Cuattro Guidelines:
- How many more years will you practice? That is how many years you will shoot x-rays. Doing it better, faster, with higher quality, higher profits, and more client satisfaction is an investment that pays every day, month, and year of a career.
- Studies have shown that DR increases x-ray usage 30-50% in the first six months. Ask why.
- The main reason for bad x-rays is patient positioning. DR eliminates this error with instant image display. CR does not. Discover the difference. The second reason for bad x-rays is technical dose. DR eliminates this error. Ask how.
- You cannot go backwards from film quality. Ever. This is malpractice. Low cost systems fail this test in large thorax, abdomen & orthopedics. This is never acceptable.
- CR is not DR. CCD is not FPD. GadOX is not CSi. DICOM is DICOM. Usually. Ask why.
- Your new DR system must be easier to use than film. If not, don't do it.
- Owners and Associates make more money with digital radiography each month in Production. Nurses cost less because procedure time is reduced by 75%. Time is freed to serve clients.
- How stable is the system? Is it designed to a high standard, like CE? Does it have Modality Worklist (MWL), WG25 and DICOM 3.0 Conformance? Is the detector suitable for the highest quality medical practices at a price you can afford? Learn about these.
- Your new DR should integrate with any practice management, telemedicine, or PACS software. Ask how.
- Top Quality DR lowers radiation 20%+. Top prospects and current staff will look for modern safety, speed, quality, and reliability.
