What Format Does The Va Use For Mri/ct Scan Storage?

[soundtweak]

I have finally been assigned to the Polytrauma center at my VA hospital for chiropractor treatment. My doctor asked me to get my MRI scans that I had from my local hospital in 2008 and 2010. I went to the imaging center and they gave me a CD of the requested reports. It is in the IDX Imagecast format and autoruns in Windows. There is another format called DICOM, but I was not given a copy of this. Can the VA convert IDX to DICOM, or will I have to request another copy in the latter format? Any information is grately appreciated!

They will take care of it.
