A Brief Tutorial for Digital Radiology Online

You Can Use Any Web Browser:

In the past, Microsoft Internet Explorer was the only browser that would show the x-ray images. We're now happy to announce that Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and other web browsers can be used!

When the X-Rays Are Available:

Your pet's x-rays can be viewed online at darkhorsemed.com within 24 hours of the x-ray exam. Barring any delays, darkhorsemed.com receives all x-rays at about midnight, seven days a week.

The Web Code:

At the time your veterinarian discusses the results of your pet's x-ray exam, you will be offered an access code to view the x-rays online at darkhorsemed.com.

Ready?

To start, enter www.darkhorsemed.com into your web browser, or click on this link.

Enter the web code given by your veterinarian, and click "Go".

The main exam page will appear, with a list of your pet's x-rays. Simply highlight the desired exam date and click the arrow button.

Thumbnail images of your pet's x-rays along the bottom. Click on any of the images to view them full size.

If you haven't viewed an x-ray at darkhorsemed.com before, you may receive a message asking you to download the viewStudy program. You will need to allow the DarkHorse website to install this program before your computer can display the x-ray.

The program may take a couple minutes to download.

During installation, you may see a message warning "The application's digital signature could not be verified." This message is expected. It is safe to allow this application to run.
