Knowledge Corner: Integrated Diagnostics: Laboratory and Imaging Essentials for Specialty Practice

This case-driven session will provide perspectives on canine and feline clinical management from a radiologist and clinical pathologist. Speakers will provide insights on how to navigate pressing concerns like, ‘Does this vomiting dog need surgery or supportive care?’ and ‘What is happening in the chest- and what imaging modality do I choose?’, along with others. Practical discussion on ‘how, why and when’ to use your diagnostic imaging toolkit options (from radiographs to ultrasound, to CT), and how best to incorporate the ‘tried and true’ of clinical observations and laboratory diagnostics into your day-to-day workflow will be delivered in a fast-paced case rounds format in order to provide practical tips for clinical management, insights on contextualized diagnostics, and pet-owner communication across the spectrum of care.
