For Veterinarians
Below are multiple options for sending DICOM files.
Setting Up a Direct DICOM Send:
Most PACS systems can send images directly from your PACS to our PACS. If you are interested
in this option, please get in touch with us, and we will provide you with our PACS details for
configuration.
Attaching DICOM Files to the Vetscoring Submission Form:
When attaching DICOM files, please ensure they have the appropriate file extension, such as
“.dcm” or “.dicom.” If the files lack an extension, you may manually type it or create a zip file
(explained below) and upload it.
Attaching a Zip File:
To send DICOM files as a zip, copy all relevant files into an empty folder on your computer.
Right-click on the folder and select the “compress” or “create a zip file” option.
Attach the zip file to your submission. You can find an explanatory video below.
Emailing a Link to DICOM Files:
Please include the dog’s registration or name in the email subject in this method.
You may also include the link to the DICOM files in the comments section of the Vetscoring
submission form.
We strongly discourage sending DICOM files as email attachments due to their large size,
often leading to delivery failures.
For Breeders or Owners
We understand that some owners/breeders prefer JPG images to assess the image quality and
radiographic changes. If this applies to you, we recommend requesting both DICOM and JPG
files from your veterinarian. You can then use the JPG images for your assessment while
submitting the DICOM files for scoring.
