I'm not the OP, but I like to get the x-ray films back. So far as I know, the dog owner does not get a copy of the digital x-rays. Am I missing something?
Re: Digital can be copied or emailed? NJ or PA doing x-rays
I am not sure but I would think that it is way easier to copy digital x-rays than the film ones. Ask the vet if it is okay if you bring an extra disk for them to burn for you. Or offer to buy one of theirs if they fear a virus from an outside computer. Too many forget to put in a double plate if that is what you want for film, and OFA prefers not to return films these days.
Couldn't they also be emailed to you? If they can be emailed to OFA, why not you?
Or am I off base? Heck, we download videos! This is a few plates/images. When my vet forgot to put the extra plates in for hard copies years ago, I had to go to a special place to have the copies made to have on file in case they were lost or whatever. Much more of a pain than copying on to a disk or emailing!
Correct me if I am wrong on the assumptions. However, OFA provides for the vet to either send a CD or an email.

My last xrays were done digital. And the vet gave me a link to a site where I could go on and view my xrays. I was able to save the images from there and keep them.
I am trying a new vet soon who does digital but at half the price. We'll see what they normally do.

Is this new vet you are trying in NJ? If you are happy with them for OFA would you share the name? TIA.
