Image quality comparison between ImageVue DR50 and ImageVue DR50 Plus

Radiography is a standard diagnostic technique in nearly every U.S. veterinary clinic³, and an estimated 75% of technicians are women of childbearing age⁴, underscoring the importance of minimizing exposure to protect team health and safety. The ImageVue DR50 Plus combines advanced image optimization, automated protocols, and irradiated side sampling technologies to adjust for positioning and technique variability, helping reduce retakes. Its unique design captures x-ray signals more efficiently, producing sharper images with less radiation. In addition to the 14” x 17” panel, a new 17” x 17” panel option expands coverage across a wider range of patients, and seamless integration with IDEXX software and telemedicine solutions ensures a smooth end-to-end workflow.

“The ImageVue DR50 Plus system marks a new chapter in diagnostic imaging, delivering exceptional image quality and advancing radiation safety,” said Jay Mazelsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of IDEXX. “As the lowest-dose system to date, it expands clinical insight, reduces retakes, and streamlines the imaging workflow from capture to consult through seamless integration with our software and telemedicine solutions.”

The ImageVue DR50 Plus system enables a connected diagnostic imaging workflow for veterinary professionals:

• IDEXX Web PACS™ Software provides centralized image access, viewing, sharing, and storage, fully embedded into efficient veterinary practice workflows. Its AI-powered viewer automates hanging protocols and vertebral heart scores, reducing manual steps and saving time on diagnosis.
• IDEXX Telemedicine Consultants offer 24/7 expert insights for routine and complex cases, with 160+ board-certified specialists worldwide across radiology, cardiology, and other disciplines. Customers can now submit and review IDEXX Telemedicine cases directly through Web PACS.

• ezyVet™ Practice Management Softwareenables veterinarians to retrieve images from IDEXX Web PACS, submit cases to IDEXX Telemedicine Consultants, and automatically receive results in the corresponding patient record.

"As a veterinarian, providing timely, accurate diagnoses while ensuring patient and staff safety is my top priority,” said Dr. Jean C. K. Pitcairn, DVM, CVC, CCRP, CVCHM, CHPCP Integrative Oncology, Medical Director of Chase Farm Veterinary Hospital.* “The ImageVue DR50 Plus system consistently delivers sharp, detailed images with a low dose of radiation, allowing us to make confident decisions and focus on quality care.
