IDEXX Web PACS and diagnostic imaging requests
For staff to send diagnostic imaging requests to IDEXX Web PACS, a practice manager makes site diagnostics in ezyVet. A site diagnostic is a record that identifies a type of diagnostic imaging.
Each site diagnostic has the name, code, and other information of an imaging type for IDEXX Web PACS. After a practice manager makes a site diagnostic, staff can select it when they make a diagnostic imaging request.
The available site diagnostics that staff can select show in a Diagnostics box of the New Diagnostic Request dialog box:
