Vets all over the world enter their examination results in vetsXL.com and transfer their digital HD, ED, and OCD X-ray images and CT image sequences right to our platform. Expert reviewers, organizations and breeders’ associations evaluate the data, images and image sequences transferred using our specially developed online tools and can produce informative statistics and diagrams in just a few steps.

What began in 2004 with the development of the first online application for DOK, a Dortmund-based association for animal eye disorders, is now one of the most important and powerful areas of our platform. In addition to the DOK, the GRSK (an association for X-ray diagnoses of genetic skeletal disorders in small animals) and the heart specialists of CC (Collegium Cardiologicum), organizations in other countries and multinational organizations also use vetsXL.com. These include ECVO (European College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists), for which we developed a centralized database of anonymized analyses of eye examination results from across Europe, Lectures officielles DH/DC in France, and Fondazione Salute Animal (FSA) in Italy, which carry out their hip and elbow dysplasia examinations using vetsXL.com and our easyIMAGE web viewer.

State-of-the-art specialist online applications are available for all examinations, none of which can be found anywhere else. There are modern web dialogues for recording examination results. These dialogues are easy to adapt and integrate into any existing practice management software. It includes intelligent online services for transferring digital HD, ED and OCD X-ray images and CT image sequences in DICOM format using drag and drop; this service can also be fully automated, and can process almost unlimited volumes of data. And there are powerful tools available for evaluation, which can be used to analyze any data, display it in a visual form, or export it for further processing.

When a veterinary practice transfers an animal to a specialized clinic, it sets in motion a complex process: previous treatment information, examination results and images are sought and compiled, the relevant transfer form is filled out, and everything is transmitted to the clinic. The clinic arranges an appointment with the client and discusses how treatment will proceed. When the client arrives at the clinic, all data related to the client, the animal, the referring veterinary practice and the case history are recorded manually in the clinic management software. When the specialized clinic transfers the animal back to the referring veterinary practice, an almost identical process takes place. The total amount of administrative overheads borne by both sides often amounts to several hours.

With vetsXL.com, it can all be done in a few minutes. The veterinary practice puts the existing treatment information, examination results and images together in its practice management software, opens our online application, and selects which specialized clinic it wants to transfer the information to. All client and animal data is immediately recorded in the accompanying transfer form, and all examination information is attached in standardized formats such as PDF and DICOM. Missing and required information is quickly entered, and everything is sent to the specialized clinic with a single click. That clinic is informed about the new transfer via a push notification and can use our online application to view the data of the referring veterinary practice, the client, the animal and the animal’s case history immediately. Everything they need to contact the animal’s owner and arrange an appointment is there. The client receives a text message confirmation and, on request, further information, tutorial videos, and a consent form regarding the upcoming appointment. This means that everyone involved is perfectly prepared with minimum hassle. When the client arrives at the specialized clinic, all information will be stored in the clinic management software with a single click. And, of course, everything works just as simply and quickly when it comes to retransferring.
