Eclipse goes Mobile
12th February 2013
Eclipse Veterinary Software have their first vets up and running with an exciting new extension to their integrated practice management and PACS system for equine vets.
Eclipse Mobile runs on Apple iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, iPod touch, and on high specification Android tablets and smartphones. Diary appointments, visit information including client and animal histories, lab test results, and of course all the related diagnostic imaging for the cases the vet is going out to see.
With Eclipse Mobile installed and a copy of OsiriX HD on the iPad, an equine vet has all the information they need with them (whether connected online or when off the WiFi/3G network completely) to treat animals, dispense drugs, record their work, bill clients, and keep track of their appointments on the move

OsiriX HD - now for iPad
17th March 2011
Dicom viewing got lighter, easier, and much more portable this month when OsiriX, the free Mac software for clinical review, came to the iPad.
Studies can be transferred using Dicom, or connecting over a wifi network via Bonjour, or using the file-sharing feature in iTunes.
Pinch to zoom in and out, window and level, swipe left and right to move between series, use the slider to scroll through the image stack. Measurement tools are available.
Eclipse goes to BEVA Congress 2010
13th September 2010
Systems Support's Eclipse team were much in evidence at the BEVA Congress in Birmingham this year, manning the BEVA Zone Internet Café and using the excellent iPhone app to help those attending find the exhibitor/stand they were looking for.
The iPhone app, developed jointly with
fellow Cambridge company, nfonix, provided
detailed information about lectures, speakers,
times and venues, enabling Congress members to create a personal schedule for the events they were most keen to catch.
If you have ideas for the Congress app next year, please feel free to feed them back to us via BEVA, or by using the enquiry form on the Contact Us page of this site?
We would also like to thank CrashPlan Pro, the backup software guys who produce systems able to back up any size installation, from the smallest PC or Mac you use at home to the largest business data centre – and everything in between, for their valuable support.
Donnington Valley workshop a great success!
1st December 2009
A small but select group of attendees enjoyed an in-depth analysis of the why's and wherefore's of introducing PACS systems to manage and organise the growing archive of digital images we all have nowadays. Whether you have a neat shelf of clearly-labelled CDs/DVDs with all your ultrasound images or x-rays, or a heap of files scattered around on different workstations, most of us would find it much easier to access things if there is just one place to go and you can search easily. Marcus Head explained the absolute basics of moving into this territory, and demonstrated how all imaging at Rossdale and Partners is collectively accessed through the diary system in their Eclipse PMS, locally or from a remote connection.
Bruce Bladon expanded the theme with a masterclass on the development of Dicom standards and their relevance to modern veterinary practice. At O'Gorman, Slater, Main and Partners, vets are automatically able to see lists of patients booked for imaging procedures on scanner computers and to let the system attach imaging to the relevant animal history in each case. Typos with animal/owner names can virtually be eliminated and the vet can concentrate on the clinical work. Imaging is fetched to individual workstations according to pre-designated rules, ready for the consulting vet to view when he/she is ready. Particular images can be shared easily via the web with referring vets for consultation and client information. Bruce highlighted the progress made since the first installation of a Kodak Master Page x-ray system in 2004 to date and gave a virtual tour of the computer systems required for PACS and viewing facilities within the practice.
Sarah Powell showed us a wonderful selection of examples of her 3D imaging manipulation and diagnostic work. Delegates were talked through the different kinds of image processing available within her tool of choice, OsiriX for Mac. OsiriX offers all modern rendering modes: Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). Sarah explained how to choose which method to apply and how to use the different kinds of visualisation available to make the best use of images for diagnostic purposes, and for teaching and presentation.
MiuS' veterinary specialist, Fraser Yule, a keen biker!
26th November 2009
In 2007 Fraser decided to renovate an old 1979 Moto Guzzi Le Mans based cafe racer. Completing his project earlier this year, Fraser was persuaded to enter the bike in ‘Britain’s Got Biking Talent’ run by Carole Nash Insurance through Motor Cycle News. Fraser’s Guzzi has been short listed as one of two in class, so qualifies to be on show at the NEC from 26th November until 6th December 2009. If you are near Birmingham call in and see Fraser’s bike on show!
When he's not bombing around on two wheels, Fraser is helping veterinary specialists choose the right ultrasound scanner to suit the specific needs for soft tissue imaging. New or refurbished, MiuS offer the complete package, from initial selection right through to high quality customer support after purchase
Refurbished systems offer unparalleled value for money, with superior image quality allowing you to make a faster and more accurate diagnosis. There is a wide range of scanners in stock from portable units through to top of the range Colour Doppler scanners. All refurbished systems are put through a comprehensive refurbishment programme and thoroughly tested to exacting standards, with a full year's parts and labour warranty.
