Before submitting cases, you must register and obtain a username and password to enable access to the Radiology Information System (RIS). This requires completing an online registration form: REGISTER . You will be contacted within 1-2 days to confirm registration and be given configuration details. Email us (telemedvet@ncsu.edu) or phone (919 809 9723) for a full list of our fees or if you have any queries about our service.
There are 2 steps in the submission of imaging studies.
1. Send Your Images to Our Server
If you enjoy computer manipulations, you will be able to complete the following on your own. If you would rather have someone walk you through the process, simply let us know when we confirm registration and we will assist in configuring your computer to send images directly to us. You must have images in DICOM format to access our server. We do not need your DICOM i.p. 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 to send images on activation of your user profile.
Ordering an interpretation simply involves sending the images to us. Once our server has received the study (this may take several minutes depending on various factors), patient identification is extracted and an order is AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED in the RIS.
2. Update the Study details in the Radiology Information System (RIS)
Once an order is generated, you need to log into the RIS to enter additional information. Once logged in, you will also have access to all cases and reports from the group to which you are assigned. A ‘group’ might consist of the veterinarians within a practice or perhaps a group of practices under the same ownership/management. Whether you want a group profile or individual only access to your images is your decision and this can be modified at any time.
