The VHC Radiology Service is happy to offer radiographic interpretation for referring veterinarians or owners. A radiographic referral fee of $65 is charged per study.
A “Stat” reading is also available for an additional $20. Stat reads are offered only for exams that are received between 8:00am – 5:00pm CST Monday through Friday. The turnaround time for a Stat read will be two hours.
In an effort to expedite stat reads, in addition to selecting that option on our online form, please call the radiology department (573)-882-5852 after submission of interpreting request and images.
You may submit hard copy or electronic images.
*Please be sure to check your inbox and junk/spam folders for returned reports.
Submitting hard copy images
Mail hard copy images to:
MU Veterinary Health Center
Radiology Referral Service
900 East Campus Drive
Columbia, MO 65211
Please include a completed Request for Radiographic Interpretation form with the images.
Payments by check, made payable to MU VHC, may be sent with a hard copy image submission. Referrals may also be billed on a monthly basis.
Submitting electronic images
We prefer DICOM images because they provide the best quality for interpretation. We offer a couple of submission options:
- You may submit electronic images and information through our referral website.
- You may submit DICOM images to our external PACS. Please email us at mucvmradiology@missouri.edu for our server address, port and AE title. You will still need to visit our referral website to submit your information.
