Manually upload DICOM, JPG, or other image formats

Based on best practices for veterinary imaging, it is strongly recommended that you submit images in DICOM, or .dcm format, through a direct transfer between servers. The DICOM format provides the best quality and diagnostic image to your company for interpretation. The direct transfer of these files from your imaging or image storage system also reduces the quantity of steps for you to successfully submit a report request to your company.

• Upload DICOM Images for all DICOM or .dcm file formats, including ultrasound videos.
• Upload JPG or Other Images for all JPG, BMP, TIF, and PNG file formats.
