TruDR™ Digital Radiography Garners #1 Market share since debut in early 2004.
CARLSBAD, CA— May 5, 2004 —Sound Technologies, Inc. (a Division of VCA Antech NASD: WOOF), is pleased to reaffirm its position as veterinary medicine’s leading provider of digital radiography and PACS solutions. Based on 2005 vendor releases, the TruDR™ Digital Radiography-VetPACS solution was overwhelmingly selected by small animal veterinary customers, by approximately three to one, over competing large format flat panel detectors.
According to Steve Eyl, President of Sound Technologies, “Since TruDR’s early 2004 release, over one-hundred and twenty TruDR Digital Radiography and VetPACS solutions have been purchased for small animal use. These purchases represent wide leadership by Sound Technologies during 2004 and 2005 for market share, making TruDR and VetPACS #1 in the Worldwide Digital Radiography market for small animal veterinary use.”
According to Dr. Neil Shaw, DACVIM, of Florida Veterinary Specialists in Tampa, one of the nation’s leading specialty and referral hospitals, TruDR Digital Radiography has surpassed the high expectations of his specialist teams. “Since installing Sound Technologies’ TruDR Digital Radiography three months ago, Florida Veterinary Specialists has utilized TruDR and VetPACS to generate, diagnose, and report on over 16,000 radiographic digital images. TruDR Digital Radiography has effortlessly provided outstanding images across our wide range of patients, from our smallest avian patients to our largest Great Dane. VetPACS Nucleus DICOM server stores and provides instant, hospital-wide access to images produced by our two TruDR Digital Radiology systems, two GE LOGIQ 5 ultrasounds, Spiral CT, and video endoscopy suites. Our board certified radiologist and other specialists have been consistently impressed with the outstanding image quality and VetPACS veterinary-specific work-flow. We couldn't be happier with our increased productivity, service and stability. TruDR Digital Radiography, VetPACS, and Sound Technologies have delivered an excellent solution to our specialists, referring veterinarians, and to pet owners.”
“Sound Technologies is honored by the remarkable demand for and satisfaction with TruDR and VetPACS amongst leading radiologists, surgeons, and veterinary practices,” said Mr. Eyl. “Our dedicated team of engineers, software developers, and specialist users has worked very hard to deliver a digital radiography and DICOM Conformant PACS solution for the unique needs of veterinary professionals. By avoiding the temptation to simply repackage off-the-shelf medical devices and software solutions, the TruDR and VetPACS Product Teams have created a product that is clearly preferred by discerning veterinarians.”
According to Dr. Michael Palescandolo, of Animal Emergency and Referral Center of West Caldwell New Jersey, “After thorough research, two TruDR Digital Radiography Systems from Sound Technologies were selected (in early 2004) over several other choices. Our evaluation included numerous CR providers and DR providers. TruDR Digital Radiography was the clear winner in delivering radiographic detail. Sound Technologies provided the knowledge and experience we expected from the market-leader in diagnostic veterinary imaging. Combined with steadfast execution, support, and long-term stability, these factors made our decision an easy one. Six thousand exams later, we couldn't be happier!"
