Create and submit documents
Online transmission of dysplasia documents
Dysplasia documents must be submitted online via the PetHealthData platform. This platform is available in German, French, Italian, and English.
All steps for requesting a dysplasia evaluation can be done on the platform. The administrative workload for the practice/clinic can be reduced by asking the owners to register themselves and their animals on the PHBooklet platform before the examination. Radiographs must be uploaded in DICOM format; other digital image formats are not accepted. If only conventional radiographs are available, the "send radiographs separately by mail" option should be selected during the image upload process.
The rates for evaluations are available here.

Conventional radiograph registration
Radiographs must be permanently labeled. The best method is to place the information directly on the radiographic film using a scriber or a scriber strip placed in the cassette. Indelible marker or India ink is also accepted. The following information is mandatory:
- Name of the practice or practice owner
- Date of the radiographic examination
- Chip number and/or breeding registry number of the dog (SHSB or equivalent number)
- Whenever possible, also the breed, date of birth, pedigree name and owner
Images with insufficient, incorrect, provisional or erasable identification will not be evaluated.
