As a veterinary specialist in radiology, I work with other specialists in a referral hospital to help diagnose pets' medical conditions and monitor their response to treatment. Animals can have complicated health problems just like people, and a network of specialists can each contribute critical knowledge and skills to an animal's care. Radiology is just one of the veterinary specialties, but it plays an important role in the diagnostic workup. Most animals that come to our hospital undergo an imaging procedure, from chest x-rays to ultrasound or CT and MR scans. We do our best to "see" what's going on inside the patient. An ultrasound can diagnose an intestinal foreign body in a dog that swallowed a toy, or an MR scan can locate a "slipped disc" in a dog with back pain. I enjoy being a vital part of the team of doctors that treats every pet that comes to our hospital.
