The Dysplasia Control Registry of the OFA is a voluntary program established to evaluate radiographs and to identify films showing no radiographic evidence of dysplasia or other orthopedic problems. All films submitted that are of acceptable diagnostic quality will be reviewed by qualified veterinary radiologists and a consensus report will be returned to the owner of record and referring veterinarian. Only animals that are 24 months of age or older to the day at the time of radiography, with no radiographic evidence of dysplasia, will be assigned a breed OFA number. The OFA does not offer a consultation service for those under 24 months of age.

Radiographs should be permanently identified in the film emulsion with:
1. Registered name and/or number
2. Name of veterinarian or hospital making the film
3. Date of radiograph taken

PELVIC EVALUATIONS ARE BASED ON THE STANDARD VD VIEW WITH GOOD PELVIC DEFINITION, PELVIS NOT TILTED AND FEMURS EXTENDED AND PARALLEL.

ELBOW EVALUATIONS ARE BASED ON THE STANDARD FLEXED LATERAL VIEW.
