Veterinary-native from the start
NewLumen was built for veterinary medicine. Species-tagged hanging protocols, vet-specific reporting macros, and echo cineloop — features that have no parallel in a platform built for human healthcare.
How Purview and NewLumen compare
Purview (mypurview.com) is a cloud PACS and DICOM viewer used across human and veterinary medicine. It's a legitimate cloud platform with teleradiology features, and the comparison is worth making honestly.
Purview is built for human healthcare and extended to veterinary medicine. NewLumen is built for veterinary medicine. Species-tagged hanging protocols for canine and feline cases ship out of the box and apply automatically on study open.
Detailed comparison
Origin and veterinary fit
Purview is built for human healthcare and extended to veterinary medicine. Veterinary-specific features, including species-aware hanging protocols, vet-specific macros, are not the product's native focus. NewLumen is built for veterinary medicine. Species-tagged hanging protocols for canine and feline cases ship out of the box and apply automatically on study open — with no equivalent in human-medicine-origin platforms.
Viewer
Purview offers a cloud DICOM viewer with a standard toolset for diagnostic viewing. NewLumen is built on Cornerstone3D in the browser: scroll, pan, zoom, window/level with lung and soft tissue presets, length, angle, ellipse, freehand, probe, arrow, cine, MPR, 3D layout, multi-monitor via Window Management API, reference lines, viewport sync, and echo cineloop for ultrasound.
Teleradiology
Purview has teleradiology features including DICOM routing and sharing. NewLumen's multi-tenant teleradiology queue is designed specifically for groups reading across multiple client clinics: one login, All Cases, My Queue, Group Queue, Pending Review, and Completed Today views across every connected clinic, algorithmic case routing, cross-tenant patient search, and billing rollup by sign date with CSV export.

Who NewLumen fits better
Practices or reading groups who want a viewer built around veterinary anatomy and workflows. Teleradiology groups managing cases across multiple client clinics who need a true multi-clinic worklist. Practices where species-specific hanging protocols and macros are part of daily reading workflow.
Who might stay on Purview
If Purview's existing integrations and contracts are working well, the switching cost may not be worth it. This comparison is for practices where veterinary specificity is actively missing from their current platform.
