The following instructions are for
veterinarians who wish to send us diagnostic imaging studies.
Advanced Veterinary Medical Imaging offers 4 methods for sending diagnostic imaging studies. These include the following:
1. 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,
Osirix and
Clear Canvas 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 = AVMIEXTPACS
IP Address = extpacs.avmi.net (if your device does not support a dns entry for the IP Address field you can manually enter the current number = 12.219.253.52
)
Port = 11112
of our public PACS server into your viewing workstation or modality.
AE Title entry requires ALL CAPS.
Please call 800-717-2864 or
email us if you need additional assistance.
2. Web upload
