Integral in Metron and improved in Metron 8, the Vertebral Heart Score (VHS) Guided Mark-Up is the perfect software feature to spotlight in the month of February.

Metron has made it even easier to pick the appropriate points in the VHS Guided Mark-Up process. In Metron 8, VHS is also now exclusive to the thoracic region.

Let Metron do the calculations for you. Execute four easy Guided Mark-Up steps to complete the set of parameters required for diagnosis.

Preliminary Steps:  First, make sure the X-Ray is labeled as a Thorax. This will ensure the Guided Mark-Up button will display.

Next, tap or click the Guided Mark-Up Button. This will bring up the Radiographic Calibration screen. Select the No Calibration graphic button and click OK.

Let the Mark-Up begin!  The first two steps inside the Guided Mark-Up process are the same as previous Metron Software versions. Follow the step-by-step instructions picking the points on your X-Ray image to match the sample software image.

 

In each process step, pick the points on your image. If you want more detailed directions, click the Help button. Once points are picked, always click Next Step>> to continue.
