Teleradiology makes the possibility of having a board-certified veterinary radiologist working in every veterinary practice a reality. Our four board-certified radiologists offer a superior second opinion teleradiology service to veterinarians — one that is similar to the radiology services offered in most human hospitals. Their expertise of both interpretation and image delivery ensures that our clients are receiving the highest level of diagnostic-imaging service. Having all of your radiographs sent for a second opinion by a specialist is the single most important step a veterinarian can take to increase the level of medicine performed at their hospital.

Typically, a radiograph report is written and sent to the veterinarian within 24 hours. Depending on the method of transport, this process may be slightly delayed. We also offer the STAT option for radiographs that require immediate evaluation. We put every effort into making this a convenient experience for both the veterinarian and the owner.

If you have films, we can also review them; they can be brought by a courier, hospital representative, or pet owner, or they can be dropped off in our convenient box just outside of our clinic if we are closed.

Give us a call to learn more about our teleradiology/ radiograph review services. (858) 634-5430

Did you know that Dr. Seth Wallack founded one of the first veterinary-specific teleradiology platforms in the country?

For Dr. Wallack, the two most exciting aspects of radiography are the “CSI effect” and the rapidly evolving technology such as “the cloud.” He elaborates: “The CSI effect is due to the feeling of being a crime scene investigator when I am reading a radiograph. A radiographic study is nothing more than a set of clues, much like a crime scene. I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of radiology and “telling the story.” For that same reason, I also enjoy the technology side of radiology. With the Internet, we are becoming overwhelmed with information and are having trouble keeping up with sorting through it all. The goal of technology is to intuitively sift through all of the data and only bring forth the items we would consider pertinent to the situation.“
