Interpretation of all imaging studies performed on-site at Central Hospital by our board-certified radiologists. They are also available for consultation on digital and conventional imaging studies submitted through the mail or through Central’s Teleradiology service.
Remote image interpretation by local experts
We provide teleradiology services here at The Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine through Asteris Keystone. This is a software program that makes it easy to send images for consultation, and provides online access to images and reports if you are away from your office. Reports are also stored in your local Keystone software and emailed to your registered address. The software is free of charge, and we charge consults by the case and bill monthly. Cases are read Monday through Friday 9-5. If you have an urgent case during those hours, call the radiology department and they will do their best to provide expedited review. Otherwise, next business day returns are guaranteed. For cases outside those hours, STAT service is not guaranteed.
Downloading the software – Free!
Getting started will require that you install a small piece of Asteris Keystone software on your PACS computer and configure it to send to us here at Central. Download Keystone below.
If you are at all uncomfortable installing this on your own, you can call Asteris directly at 1-877-727-8374 and their tech support people will either walk you through it over the phone, or remote in and install it for you. After install, I think you will find teleradiology submissions to be fast and easy.
