The demand for advanced diagnostic imaging procedures such as nuclear scintigraphy, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging has increased dramatically over the past 10 years. Veterinarians, seeking to improve their diagnostic capabilities and clients willing to pursue "best medicine" have driven this demand, resulting in installation of advanced imaging facilities at most academic and private referral practices. Knowledge of potential benefits of various modalities will allow the veterinarian to optimize his or her use of diagnostic imaging in his or her own practice or in a referral practice.
在过去10年中，对核闪烁扫描、超声检查、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像等先进诊断成像程序的需求急剧增加。寻求提高诊断能力的兽医和愿意采用“最佳医疗手段”的客户推动了这一需求，导致大多数学术机构和私人转诊机构都安装了先进的成像设备。了解各种成像方式的潜在益处将使兽医能够在自己的诊所或转诊机构中优化诊断成像的使用。
