Teleradiology is the transmission of medical images, such as radiographs, CT or MRI, from one location to another, and refers to the practice of a radiologist interpreting images while not physically present in the location where the images are generated.
Teleradiology provides rapid turnaround times (Vet Imaging provides this service within 24 to 72 hours) and cuts out the post office as well as costs of courier companies to send your images, saving you money and time.
Once you are a registered user and have a username and password for our website, your images can be submitted to our server, which is designed to ensure reliability, security and stability of transmission. Our system can accept images from any make of digital system allowing fast and efficient reporting. We use efficient DICOM compression technology to communicate efficiently between your hospital, the server and our computers. We unfortunately do not accept JPEG images as our diagnostic capabilities are compromised on these images as image quality cannot be manipulated (e.g. brightness and contrast to optimize visibility of available image information). The report is sent to you via e-mail and is also available online with your images.
Please contact us at info@vetimagingspecialists.com if you require information on submitting hard copy (film) images.
