A Note from BioTech's President...

BioTech X-ray provides portable X-ray, Ultrasound and EKG services to patients at their bedsides. Since our start-up in St. Louis, MO area, in 1994, we have expanded our service area to include Illinois, the Quad Cities and eastern Iowa areas. Through BTXplorer, our on-line radiology program, facilities and physicians have 24x7 access to their patient reports, images and invoices.

We pride ourselves as being “the patient first people” because the patient’s needs are always our first priority. Our goal is to provide same day service at the bedside whenever possible, calling positive results back promptly and sending the final written report within 24 hours of the exam. Our service is both convenient and cost effective for the patient, family and nursing staff.

BioTech X-ray works closely with our sister company, BioTech Laboratory, a provider of laboratory services. Ultrasound and Doppler exams are now available in many of our areas, conveniently consolidating services for our clients. BioTech X-ray, Inc. wants to be your connection for X-ray, EKG, Ultrasound and laboratory needs.

On-Line Image Viewer Enhanced June 1, 2010: Faster, Easier, Improved

Features and Benefits of New Viewer

Less installation requirements and easier set up for users: This new viewer relies less on java technology and their imaging libraries. This means when setting up a new user you will no longer need to install specific versions of java and imaging libraries that were previously needed to run the viewer.

Faster study download speeds: The viewer now downloads the entire study and all associated images at quicker speeds making viewing images less time consuming.

Quick image retrieval for multi-image studies: With the faster download speeds mentioned above, you will no longer have to wait for progress bar to load individual images in a multi-frame study.  Double clicking the image will bring up the chosen image almost immediately.

Thumbnail previews of images: For ease of use, we have replaced the description of images on the tree of the viewer with thumbnails. This allows you to 'pre-view' the image before loading it into full view.

New Scrolling feature: Easy scrolling options have been added to the viewer allowing you to navigate through multi-image studies more smoothly. Hover over the thumbnails and use the roller ball of your mouse to scroll through.

Image manipulation tools: The same great manipulation tools are still available to users who want to view images in a variety of ways. All tool descriptions and how to use are under the help menu - contents area.

BioTech X-ray partners with WebInterstate to continue to develop BTXplorer to better support our customers and help you further your business. If you should have any questions in relation to the viewer updates, please do not hesitate to contact your BTX account rep.
