About Radabase
Radabase is a shared teaching library of real veterinary imaging cases. It exists so that a student in one country can learn from a case a radiologist saw somewhere else — without any patient or owner ever being identifiable.
How a case gets published
- 1
A contributor uploads key images
Contributors confirm they have permission from their institution and that the case is de-identified before submitting. Uploads land in a private review area that the public site cannot read.
- 2
Automatic screening flags burned-in text
Images are scanned in the browser for dates, ID numbers and name-shaped strings in the corners. Flags are advisory — a human always makes the call.
- 3
A reviewer checks and confirms the level
A reviewer verifies de-identification and the diagnosis, and confirms the teaching level: vet student and tech, veterinarian, or radiologist.
- 4
Only then does it become public
On approval, the reviewed images are copied into the separate public store and the raw upload is removed. Nothing else can reach the public library.
De-identification standard
Cases must not contain patient names or IDs, owner names, clinic identifiers, dates of service, or anything else that could re-identify an animal or a client — in the images themselves or in the written notes. Contributors are responsible for having permission to share; reviewers are the backstop.
Diagnostic certainty
Every case is labelled Confirmed — verified surgically, cytologically, histopathologically or at necropsy — or Highly suspected, meaning a strong imaging impression only. We publish both, but we never blur the line between them.
Contributing
Contribution is open to veterinary professionals. Request access, tell us your credential and institution, and a reviewer will confirm it. Verified credentials show a badge on the cases you contribute.
Radabase is an educational reference. Nothing here is diagnostic or clinical advice for an individual animal.
