Radiology for Pets supports veterinary professionals with specialist diagnostic imaging services built around collaboration, accessibility and clinical excellence. Whether you need remote reporting, on-site imaging at our partner hospitals, a second opinion or technical guidance, our board-certified radiologists are ready to work alongside you.

We are a specialist team that invests in the relationship with every clinic we work with, offering direct access to your radiologist, personalised reports and practical support that goes beyond the written word.

How we support your practice

Our services for veterinary professionals include:

Teleradiology

From CT to ultrasound, we deliver clarity where it counts. Specialist reporting on all imaging modalities, delivered remotely with fast turnaround and direct access to your reporting radiologist when required.

On-site Clinical Imaging

Board-certified radiologists available at our partner hospitals for ultrasound, case discussion, modality selection and reporting of onsite imaging studies and interventional image guided procedures.

Image Acquisition & Support

Practical guidance on imaging modality selection, technique and positioning to help your clinic get the most from every study.

Teaching & Training

Continuing professional development and case-based learning sessions tailored to your team’s needs.

Second Opinion

Independent specialist review of imaging studies, available to both veterinarians and pet owners seeking additional clarity.

Technical Advice

Equipment guidance, PACS support and technical consultation to help your practice optimise its imaging capability.

The difference specialist imaging makes

Close collaboration between radiology and clinical services supports dynamic decision-making, including the timely integration of advanced imaging and image-guided or minimally invasive interventional procedures where indicated.

At our partner hospitals in Sydney, incorporating board-certified radiologists into your patient’s standard of care ensures the most appropriate imaging modality and protocols are selected from the outset. This expertise is further strengthened by real-time review of patient images, complementary acquisition if required ultimately allowing for immediate assessment and clinical insight.

Early, accurate diagnosis means faster treatment decisions, better outcomes for patients and, in many cases, reduced overall costs for pet owners.

Why choose Radiology for Pets

We understand the pressures of clinical practice. That is why we have built our service around what matters most to referring veterinarians:

  • Direct access to your reporting radiologist for case discussions, clinical queries and follow-up questions.
  • Thorough, evidence-based reports tailored to your clinical question.
  • Coverage across all imaging modalities, including nuclear medicine.
  • Verbal reports available for urgent and ICU cases.
  • An independent, radiologist-owned practice with clinical priorities set by clinicians.

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.
