Step 4

Specialist review and report

Your case is reviewed by a board-certified veterinary radiologist. Turnaround depends on the urgency of your case:

Verbal STAT: For critical and ICU cases, we provide a real-time verbal report by phone as the study is reviewed, followed by a full written report.

24-hour Urgent: A written report delivered within 24 calendar hours.

Standard: For non-urgent cases, a written report is delivered within two to four business days, often sooner, pending current caseload.

Verbal STAT and 24 hour urgent consultations for clinical cases are available Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm AEST

Turnaround times

Verbal STAT

For time-critical cases, including emergencies and surgical or medical procedure planning, our radiologists provide a real-time verbal report by phone, followed by a full written report. Verbal STAT reports are available Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm AEST. A fee applies.

24-Hour Urgent

A written report delivered within 24 hours. Available when you need results faster to begin treatment sooner, or where the case requires prompt clinical attention but a real-time verbal is not required.

24-Hour Urgent reports are available Monday to Friday AEST. A fee applies.

What we report on

Our teleradiology service covers the full spectrum of veterinary diagnostic imaging. We report on all species, including companion animals, exotics, wildlife, equine and large animals.

Radiography (X-ray)

Specialist interpretation of digital radiographs for all species, from routine screening to complex orthopaedic, thoracic, abdominal and contrast studies.

Ultrasound

Abdominal, cardiac, musculoskeletal, cervical and thoracic ultrasonography.

Ultrasound interpretation is most reliable when performed directly by our radiologists. Where studies have been acquired by another clinician, the diagnostic value of our report can be affected by image quality and acquisition technique. We are always happy to review submitted ultrasound studies and will provide the most clinically useful interpretation possible from the images available.

CT

Detailed interpretation of computed tomography studies for surgical planning, oncology staging, neurological, medical and emergency diagnostic workups.

MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging for neurological conditions including the brain and spine, musculoskeletal disorders and soft tissue evaluation.

Fluoroscopy

Dynamic imaging for airway and swallowing studies, urinary tract contrast procedures and interventional guidance.

Nuclear Medicine

Scintigraphy, SPECT/CT and PET/CT reporting, a specialist modality offered by very few teleradiology providers in Australia.

We report on all species, including companion animals, exotics, wildlife, equine and large animals.

Med. Vet. FANZCVS (Radiology)

Juan is a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (Radiology Chapter) and one of the specialist radiologists behind Radiology for Pets. He graduated with a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine from La Plata University, Argentina in 1999, and has spent the decades since building expertise across the full breadth of veterinary diagnostic imaging.

His clinical interests include small animal and equine musculoskeletal imaging, MRI, and nuclear medicine, all areas where precision in both acquisition and interpretation can make all the difference to a patient’s outcome. Juan is equally committed to integrating novel imaging techniques into practice, so the diagnostic options available through RFP stay current with the field.

Beyond clinical work, Juan holds a teaching appointment at the University of Sydney, where he supervises pre- and postgraduate students in veterinary diagnostic imaging, and remains actively involved in clinical and academic research. It is a career built on curiosity and a love of what diagnostic imaging can reveal.
