Welcome to the AVMI Uploads page.
The following instructions are for veterinarians who wish to send radiographs for review.
There are two basic steps for sending radiographs for review:
Step 1.) Send the radiographs
Advanced Veterinary Medical Imaging offers 4 methods for sending radiographs for review. These include the following:
- A. DICOM Send:The acronym DICOM stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. This is the preferred way to send digital images because DICOM files contain embedded information including the patient name, age, sex, and date of the exam. This method requires a DICOM compliant device. Most DICOM viewing stations including eFilm and OsiriX are capable of sending using the DICOM send protocol. Numerous other software programs available on Windows, Macintosh and Linux are available including most proprietary viewing programs that come bundled with CR and DR systems. To send images using the DICOM send protocol you will need to enter the AE Title, IP Address and Port number of our PACS server into your viewing workstation or modality. Please call 800-717-2864 so that we may provide you with this information.
- B. Web upload: This method can be used for uploading files from any computer with internet access. Any file type can be uploaded including DICOM, JPEG, TIFF, and PSD. Follow this link to upload images from your computer directly to our server.
C. Laboratory Courier: AVMI has accounts with both Antech and IDEXX laboratories. Hard copy radiograph films can be sent via either laboratory courier service.
D. Fed Ex and/or US Mail: Our office is open 7 days a week to facilitate delivery by Fed Ex or US Mail.
