JPI DirectVet Veterinary X-ray

Compact Digital Veterinary X-ray System for Small & Mid-Sized Practices

Direct Vet™ is a fully integrated digital X-ray solution designed specifically for veterinary clinics. It’s compact, easy to install (runs on a standard 110V outlet – dedicated line), and ready to work right out of the box—no special construction or power upgrades needed.

The JPI DirectVet digital veterinary X-ray system combines the generator, detector, imaging table, and acquisition software into a streamlined veterinary imaging platform. Designed for clinics with limited space, the system delivers digital radiography capabilities while operating from standard electrical service.

Its compact footprint helps practices add or upgrade digital X-ray capabilities without extensive facility modifications while maintaining the imaging power needed for routine veterinary diagnostics.

Key Benefits of the DirectVet Digital X-ray System

• • Compact footprint suitable for veterinary clinics with limited space
  • Integrated digital radiography workflow
  • Operates on standard 110V power with a dedicated line
  • Table supports patients up to 300 lbs
  • Generator and detector move together for simplified positioning

Streamlined Veterinary Imaging Workflow & Easy Operation

DirectVet is designed to simplify image acquisition and reduce setup time. Embedded positioning guides assist with patient positioning while the integrated workflow keeps image acquisition straightforward for veterinary staff.

The system’s user-friendly interface allows staff to quickly learn operation while helping practices maintain efficient patient throughput.

Workflow Features That Improve Efficiency

• • Smart positioning guides for consistent setup
  • Streamlined image acquisition workflow
  • Fast image access and review
  • Simple operation for veterinary staff
  • Efficient image sharing and storage

Veterinary X-ray Applications for Companion Animal Imaging

The DirectVet platform is designed to support routine veterinary radiographic imaging across a wide range of companion animal patients. The 100 kVp generator provides the output needed for imaging everything from small cats to large dogs.

Common Veterinary Radiography Exams

• • General companion animal radiography
  • Thoracic imaging
  • Abdominal imaging
  • Orthopedic imaging
  • Pre-surgical and post-surgical evaluations
  • Routine veterinary diagnostic examinations

Generator Configuration Options

The DirectVet system is available with two generator configurations that support different clinical workflows and facility requirements. Both options deliver consistent image quality, integrate with the same detector and table system, and maintain identical radiographic output ranges.

The difference comes down to how the system is powered and how it fits into your workflow.

Generator 40HF (AC-Powered Configuration)

The 40HF configuration is designed for facilities that prefer a direct power connection and consistent output without battery management. This option is well suited for fixed exam rooms and high-throughput environments where continuous operation is expected.

• • Direct AC-powered operation
  • Stable output for repeatable imaging performance
  • Ideal for dedicated imaging rooms and steady workflows

Generator 40BT (Battery-Powered Configuration)

The 40BT configuration introduces battery-powered flexibility, allowing the system to operate independently of constant wall power. This is beneficial for practices that need greater placement flexibility or want to reduce cable dependency during exams.

• • Battery-powered operation with external charger
  • Greater flexibility in room layout and positioning
  • Reduced reliance on constant AC connection

Choosing Between 40HF & 40BT

Both configurations share the same core imaging performance, including kV range, output power, and detector integration. Selection should be based on workflow preference:

• • Choose 40HF for fixed installations and uninterrupted power access
  • Choose 40BT for flexibility, room adaptability, and reduced cable management

ExamVue Duo Veterinary Imaging Software & Diagnostic Tools

DirectVet pairs with ExamVue Duo software to provide image acquisition, review, measurement, and sharing tools within a single workflow. The software supports veterinary-specific diagnostic tools that help clinicians evaluate studies efficiently.

Veterinary measurement and analysis tools support routine diagnostic workflows while DICOM compatibility helps integrate imaging into existing practice environments.

Included Veterinary Imaging Software Features

• • Veterinary-specific measurement tools
  • ROI zoom and windowing controls
  • Auto-stitching capabilities
  • Image annotation tools
  • DICOM-compatible image export and sharing
  • Email image distribution

The software also includes tools that support veterinary workflows such as VHS, TPA, VLAS, and other commonly used measurements for companion animal imaging.
