Our Team
Veterinary Radiologists (Diplomate ACVR) undergo rigorous training in three or four year residency programs, only after completing a veterinary degree and internship or year or more of practice. Radiologists are trained and tested in many areas of veterinary medicine, including extensive knowledge of disease diagnoses utilizing radiographs, ultrasound, CT, MRI, fluoroscopy and nuclear medicine. A radiologist’s training is focused, thus providing greater experience interpreting imaging examinations compared to other specialties. Additional training and extensive study of patient anatomy, pathophysiology and biomechanics are required and tested, prior to receiving board certification.
