Metron-U

Metron-U is PC software for equine veterinarians who perform ultrasound exams on musculoskeletal structures in the leg. Metron-U supports over 20 specific tendon and ligament exams.

Ultrasound images from your machine or digital image capture device are imported and displayed within Metron-U. You then use the mouse on your PC to circle soft tissue structures (tendons & ligaments) and lesion perimeters. You input lesions grades and fiber alignment scores. Metron-U archives all images and exam information in its database; this includes information on the horse, owner(s), trainers, dates of exams, reasons for exams, structures examined, treatments and therapies prescribed, etc. Metron-U automatically formats reports that can be printed or faxed to the owner, trainer, or other parties.

Spend less time at the horse – eliminate time spent measuring tendons and ligaments while at the horse. These activities are better done later at your PC

Take advantage of today’s PCs – by moving the job of dealing with ultrasound images to the PC, you have simple advantages such as color displays of the marked structures in the image, ability to add other annotations to images, use of standard printers and faxing software, etc. The user interfaces and built in software in Ultrasound machines will never keep up with the greater PC world.

All previous exams archived – an automatic benefit of using Metron-U is that all previous exams are stored on your PC. Metron-U takes advantage of this when generating reports to automatically provide computations showing percentage improvement in structures over multiple exams. No way to do this with software built into today’s ultrasound machines.

Generate professional reports in a fraction of the time – above all, Metron-U is a report generation tool. With Metron-U, you simply select treatment, procedure, bandaging, and other options from pull-down menus and the bulk of the report is written for you. Metron-U also maintains a database of names, addresses, phone numbers, etc for owners, trainers, consulting veterinarians, etc.

Is it Easy to Use?

Yes.  For example,  the "Database Panel" allows you to archive all exams, plus all the information related to the horse (owners, trainers, location, etc).  Working with the ultrasound images is easy - you use your mouse to circle all tendons and lesions, you grade lesions, and specify fiber alignment scores.  Tendons are shown in yellow, lesions in red -- here's an example.  Finally, you use the "Main Report panel" to specify recommended exercise levels, treatments, procedures, bandaging, and other items.  Much of the main report is written for you just by making selections from the pull-down lists in this panel.  The result is a professional report ready to be given to your clients.

Can I Look at the User Manual On-Line?

Yes.  We've posted the User Manual for Metron-U here.  This is the same manual that comes on the CD if you order Metron-U.

How about an On-Line Slide Show Tutorial?

OK.  Here is a Slide Show Tutorial on Metron-U.  Among other things, it covers how you capture images from your ultrasound machine and get them into Metron-U.

Can I try it first?
