Overview

Veterinary imaging applies radiography ultrasound CT MRI and nuclear medicine to animal health. Protocols are adapted for species size and anatomy. Imaging supports diagnosis treatment and surgical planning in veterinary care.

Small Animal Imaging

High resolution radiography ultrasound and MRI are commonly used in small animal practice. Anesthesia and positioning are important for image quality. Collaboration with veterinary specialists improves interpretation.

Large Animal and Equine

Portable radiography and ultrasound are essential for field based large animal care. Advanced CT and MRI are available in specialized centers for complex cases. Imaging guides orthopedic and soft tissue interventions.

Research and One Health

Veterinary imaging contributes to comparative research and One Health initiatives. Imaging advances in animals can inform human medicine and vice versa. Ethical considerations and welfare guide veterinary imaging practice.
