About Radiology
for Pets
Radiology for Pets is a specialist veterinary diagnostic imaging group providing advanced imaging interpretation and on-site imaging services to support veterinarians and their patients.
We work collaboratively with referring clinicians to deliver accurate, timely and clinically relevant imaging insights, helping guide diagnosis, treatment planning and patient care at every stage.
Our Purpose
Improving patient care through specialist imaging
Radiology for Pets was founded in 2019 to address a simple but significant gap in veterinary care: the global shortage of specialist radiologists and the impersonal nature of many existing teleradiology services.
Our founders saw an opportunity to build something different. A specialist radiology group with a genuine focus on collaboration, where radiologists work closely with referring veterinarians rather than simply returning reports. Where clinicians can pick up the phone, talk through a case and make decisions together.
Today, our team of board-certified veterinary radiologists supports clinics across Australia and internationally through both our teleradiology platform and on-site clinical imaging services in Sydney.
Our Approach
A collaborative, clinician-first model
At Radiology for Pets, we believe diagnostic imaging works best when it is a conversation.
Our approach is built on close working relationships with the veterinarians who refer to us. We take the time to understand your clinical question, discuss findings as they emerge and provide practical recommendations that help you move forward with confidence.
Our approach means:
- Every patient is treated as an individual, with reports tailored to the specific clinical context.
- You get direct access to your reporting radiologist for real-time verbal discussions, clinical queries and follow-up questions.
- Our team actively supports image acquisition, helping clinics improve their technique and choose the right imaging modality for each case.
- Reports are thorough and evidence-based, drawing on current literature and peer consultation when needed.

SUPPORTING PET OWNERS
Your pet deserves specialist care. Here is how to access it.
Specialist diagnostic imaging is available to every pet owner. In many situations, having a board-certified radiologist interpret your pet’s images can make a meaningful difference to their diagnosis and treatment. If you think your pet could benefit, it is always worth asking your veterinarian about a referral.
If your pet has already had imaging performed and you would like an independent specialist review, we can help with that too.
Meet the Team
The people behind the practice
Radiology for Pets was founded by Dr Joanna Pilton and Dr Juan Podadera, two board-certified veterinary radiologists with a shared belief that specialist imaging is an integral part of the first diagnostic line and should be personalised, efficient and easily accessible to all pet owners and clinicians.
