IDEXX allows us to offer these servies:

Cornerstone Management Software - IDEXX/Cornerstone practice management system allows us to be an integrated hospital enabling two way data communication between practice equipment, software and on-line services. It improves the flow of information, the pace of work, medical care and client service. You can say the “brains” of Northside Animal Hospital.

IDEXX is commited to research and development so that they can provide next-generation diagnostics to veterinary medicine. We receive patient labwork results quickly by sending it directly to our practice management software.

IDEXX Vetlab In-House Analyzers - Through revolutionary technology with the IDEXX Catalyst DX Chemistry Analyzer and LaserCyte Hematology Analyzer we can perform diagnostic testing in our hospital accurately and quickly. We can run up to 7 comprehensive panels and 27 individualized tests. In addition, we can provide our clients with reference laboratory quality CBC’s (Complete Blood Counts) including a 5 part differential and reticulocyte count.

IDEXX Digital Imaging - The newest acquisition to our hospital is the IDEXX CR 1417 digital Xray machine. The CR 1417 provides outstanding image quality while integrating with our practice management software. Digital radiography has eliminated the traditional means of xrays processing. Images are stored directly into our practice management software and are easily accessed by our staff.. When a second opinion is needed, images can be shared with the IDEXX telemedicine center quickly.

The benefits of a digital imaging system are:

• Bone and soft tissue discernability
• Crisp bone detail
• Clearly identifiable organs
• Clear distinction of joints and their related soft tissue
• Consistent contrast across all bone densities
