Veterinary radiologists have an interesting job. A veterinary radiology physician, or radiologist, is required to have the skills to properly diagnose and interpret different types of radiographic diseases in animals. Radiography can help identify internal diseases such as lung disease, bone fractures, and abnormal pathologies. They can also help identify tumors and their location to help determine an underlying disease.
Diagnosis of abnormalities and a complete interpretation of the radiographs on a clinical basis is not an easy task. Veterinary Radiology is a specialized branch of veterinary medicine and research. This specialized knowledge is highly useful in medical treatment. It is not a single area but a subject that brings together several fields of medicine such as medical, pharmaceutical, clinical, radiology, and teaching.
It is extremely helpful for veterinarians to have an extensive knowledge of various breeds and their specific anatomy. During clinical examinations, radiology examinations can be performed to complement lab testing and help determine the type of abnormality to make a diagnosis. Veterinary radiology is also helpful in diagnosing health conditions such as kidney stones, arthritis, head and neck cancer, lymphoma, and cancerous tumors. It is up to each veterinarian to decide to what degree they want to implement Radiographic imaging in their practices.
