Radiology for Pets icon White

Radiology for Pets offers technical advice and support to help veterinary clinics get the most from their imaging equipment and systems. From choosing the right hardware to optimising your PACS setup, our team has the specialist knowledge to guide your practice’s imaging infrastructure.

Good diagnostic imaging is about more than interpretation. The quality of your equipment, the efficiency of your workflow and the reliability of your image management all play a role in patient outcomes. An investment in the right setup can speed up diagnosis, improve accuracy and reduce overall costs for pet owners. We are here to help with all of it.

Equipment and PACS support

Our technical advice service can help with:

  • Equipment selection: guidance on choosing imaging equipment that suits your clinic’s caseload, budget and space.
  • PACS setup and integration: support in selecting, configuring and connecting your practice’s image management system, including integration with our teleradiology platform.
  • Image quality troubleshooting: identifying and resolving issues with image quality, exposure settings or equipment calibration.
  • Workflow optimisation: advice on structuring your imaging workflow for efficiency, from acquisition through to archiving and retrieval.

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.
