Metron New Features
Lumina III: Improved Image Quality
For your difficult equine stifle and back shots, an evolution in image processing with the Lumina III filter is included in the latest Metron 8.3.82 version.
Technical Improvements in Lumina III:
Our wavelet filter now supports a mode of usage in which the gain in lower-frequency bands is rolled-off, to reduce 'mottle' in some use cases.
A new tone-adjusting LUT is introduced at the appropriate place in the image processing pipeline to reduce bright whites for some anatomies.
Based on exposure level of the raw image (the 'technique' used by the practitioner) we now measure that exposure level and adjust our image processing recipe based on the exposure. This results in a 'more forgiving' system that does the right thing with both poorly-exposed and well-exposed images. Well-exposed images can be more aggressively processed, and poorly-exposed images can be saved (as much as possible).
Careful adjustment of image processing settings is now based on an analysis of tens of thousands of images, thanks to our huge database of images we have gathered for our Deep Learning algorithms.
The feedback we have received from our practitioners reflects the images in these more difficult shots have remarkably improved!
Coming Spring 2020 for Small Animal Clinics!
Best Practices: Advanced Training
Become the Metron Software Expert
Are you new to Metron Support Services or just recently completed your basic training and are comfortable navigating the Metron Imaging Software? Perfect first step!
However, do not forget to contact us when you are ready to take on your Advanced Metron Software Training Session. This is LIVE phone training available with one of our Metron Support Services Technicians for as many doctors and staff who would benefit. It is generally planned for one hour or less and can be personalized for you so let us know the Metron Software features you would like to cover.
Also, have you hired new staff to your practice since first implementing the Metron Software? Contact us to set up the Metron Basic Training to provide anyone on your team the opportunity to learn the basic process steps and features of the software. It can also be a refresher session for anyone.
Both training sessions are included with your annual Metron Support Services and can be scheduled at a convenient time and repeated as best for your practice. Good Internet connectivity and speaker phone capabilities are a plus for these sessions.
