Image Acquisition

& Support

Radiology for Pets icon White
Better images start before the scan. The quality of the imaging study can be the difference between a clear diagnosis and a missed one. We actively support your clinic in acquiring the best possible studies, so every patient gets the most from their imaging.

How we support your clinic

Image acquisition support from Radiology for Pets can include:

  • Guidance on choosing the right imaging modality for the clinical question, ensuring you get the most diagnostically useful study first time.
  • Advice on patient positioning and preparation to maximise image quality and minimise the need for repeat studies.
  • Feedback on imaging technique and exposure settings to help your clinic continually improve its acquisition standards.
  • Support for clinics introducing new imaging equipment or expanding their diagnostic capabilities.

How to access acquisition support

Image acquisition support is available by arrangement.

Better images. Better reports. Better outcomes.

Dr Juan Podadera

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.
