SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Eklin Medical Systems, a leader in digital radiography (DR), PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and Practice Information Management (PIMS) software for the veterinary care market, announced the company has completed installation of its Eklin Digital Practice(TM) solution at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California-Davis. The installation includes three RapidStudy(TM) EDR6 DR systems, a RapidStore(TM) SF archive and eFilm(TM) software.
"We are realizing the benefits of the Eklin Digital Practice," said Sarah Puchalski, DVM, Assistant Professor of Diagnostic Imaging, UC Davis. "Image quality is excellent. Rapid archiving and viewing capabilities have a positive impact on workflow. Integration of this system into our pre-existing PACS has gone very smoothly and the use of the PACS and eFilm viewing software is preparing students better for the digital imaging world."
Just as digital cameras have made photography more efficient by eliminating film, the Eklin RapidStudy DR system provides the veterinarian with a radiographic image that can be viewed immediately on a high-resolution monitor without need for film developing. The Eklin DR system also offers sophisticated image processing tools, giving the veterinarian much greater depth of information that can be enlarged or manipulated for far better detail. Eklin offers either a 9"x11" sensor panel or the industry's only full- size 14"x17" sensor panel. Images can be stored and archived for future evaluation using the Eklin PACS which is based on DICOM standards used by hospitals and clinics around the world. In addition, medical records, lab results, billing, financial statements and other pertinent patient or practice information is available with Eklin's VIA+(TM) PIMS.
In 1946, the School of Veterinary Medicine was established on the Davis campus. Since that time, the School has graduated more than 3,500 Doctors of Veterinary Medicine. Current class size in the four-year curriculum is 122 students per year and the School has established outstanding graduate academic (MS and PhD) and graduate clinical residency programs. The School also offers a myriad of research and service activities covering a broad spectrum of biomedical and applied sciences, including an outstanding Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Today a faculty of 230 and a staff of more than 700 have expanded the scope and scale of the School's programs to make it the largest and most diverse school of veterinary medicine in the world.
"UC Davis is considered one of the top veterinary schools in the nation," said Gary R. Cantu, president and CEO of Eklin. "It is an honor to be a part of this outstanding team and help support the excellent patient care provided by the staff and help in the development of tomorrow's veterinarians."
