Cloud-based PACS systems, such as Vet Rocket, Asteris, and Idexx Web PACS, are gaining popularity. These systems allow X-Rays to be viewed and shared across different devices, providing an additional form of backup. The integration capabilities with Metron can vary for each clinic based on its specific needs and features of the cloud-based PACS system.

Some clinics integrate cloud-based PACS with their practice information management software (PIMS) to order X-Rays. These orders are then submitted to the cloud-based PACS system. Metron utilizes this setup to retrieve the available data in the orders. X-Rays taken in Metron are submitted to the cloud-based PACS and linked back to the practice management software, creating a complete circle to view their images within the PIMS.

Depending on the configuration and features of the cloud-based PACS system and PIMS, clinics may not be able to order X-Rays from their PIMS, but they still utilize the feature to store and share X-Rays automatically to their cloud-based PACS. 

Metron can integrate with your cloud-based PACS system at no additional cost, as DICOM compatibility features have already been built into your Metron Software.

If you already have a cloud-based PACS solution and want to send your Metron images, you need to add your DICOM server information to Metron and potentially add Metron to your cloud-based PACS system. These settings are managed under Metron's System tab in the DICOM Preferences area. If you are considering this setup to plan for future growth, know that Metron has the capability to receive work orders and send images to your cloud-based PACS.

If you need help setting this up, please feel free to reach out to us. We would be happy to assist you with integrating Metron with your cloud-based PACS.
