Diagnostic Imaging Referral Service for Veterinarians

We are happy to offer a diagnostic imaging reading service for referring veterinarians.

Veterinarians can submit imaging exams (films, digitally on CD, via email, via DICOM Send or Internet File Sharing Service-IFSS) and CT/MRI studies (prefer DICOM Send or IFSS) to be read by our board-certified radiologists.

Submitting Images

1. View our Fee Schedule for Imaging Exam Readings
2. Fax a completed Diagnostic Imaging Interpretation Form to (970) 297-4264
3. Submit images one of the following ways:
   Please note:  PET-CT exams must be in DICOM format

DICOM Images: Best quality and method with 24-hour turnaround time.

Images in DICOM format can be forwarded directly to our server with a push of a button on your host. We do not need your DICOM IP address to receive images, so your computer remains secure and other parties cannot access your images.

We will provide details of our server address and assist in configuring your computer. For assistance please contact Kevin Kirsch via email, kevin.kirsch@colostate.edu or via phone, (970) 980-7325.

Non DICOM Images: 24-hour turnaround time.

Submit Images in JPEG, TIFF, or Bitmap format:

• Eight (8) or more images: You can create an account at dropbox.com* and share your images for only CSU to access. Share your folders in Dropbox to the email address: dimaging@colostate.edu
• Seven (7) or less images: You may send directly via email to: dimaging@colostate.edu or share images using dropbox.com*

* Dropbox is an easy to use, free file storage service that lets you share photos, documents, and videos. Go to dropbox.com to learn more or to set up an account.

Film Images: Turnaround time is dependent on delivery service to the Radiology office.

All films to be read should be submitted to the following address via United States Postal Service (USPS), United Parcel Service (UPS) or FedEx. Please include a Diagnostic Imaging Interpretation form (pdf) with your package(s)
