Why your study arrived wrong

A practical DICOM primer for veterinary imaging.

Alan Jacobson, Head of Product, Asteris Recorded Tuesday 6 October 2026 46 minutes, with live Q&A

Most "viewer bugs" are DICOM header problems. The pixels are fine, the labels are wrong. Alan follows a study from the order in the practice management system to the radiologist's viewer and shows where it usually goes wrong, which tags cause it, and what to ask the sending practice or modality vendor to change.

The session closes with a three-check habit for telling a file problem from a viewer problem, the questions to put to a referring practice, and live Q&A.
