Coming Soon

Radiology for Pets is committed to supporting the veterinary community through education and professional development. Our board-certified radiologists can offer a range of teaching and training opportunities designed to help clinicians, nurses, imaging staff and students build confidence and skill in diagnostic imaging.

Whether you are looking for practical in-clinic guidance, case-based learning with a specialist or a rotation in veterinary diagnostic imaging, we can discuss what is possible for your team or training programme.

What we offer

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

We are looking to offer structured CPD opportunities, covering key topics in veterinary diagnostic imaging. Contact us to register your interest.

Case-based Learning

Collaborative case review sessions where our radiologists work through real imaging cases with your team. These sessions focus on developing systematic interpretation skills, recognising common and uncommon findings, and building awareness of when to refer for specialist imaging. Contact us to register your interest.

Training in Related Disciplines (TRD)

Radiology for Pets can host veterinary residents from other disciplines who are completing a compulsory rotation in diagnostic imaging. This is a structured educational experience where residents work alongside our radiologists to develop their understanding of diagnostic imaging across specialties. We can also offer support for diagnostic imaging residents through remote or on-site rotations. Contact us to discuss opportunities.

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.
