    Imaging Insights: A Radiologists Take on Choosing the Best Imaging Modality for Your Patient

    The best imaging modality for veterinary patients depends on the issue being evaluated and the patient’s needs. In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, we delve into the types of imaging modalities available to veterinary patients, such as radiographs, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). While radiographs and ultrasound tend to be more common and accessible in private practice, CT is becoming more readily available. We explore sampling, including ultrasound guided sampling vs CT guided sampling, and discuss when MRI would be indicated over CT. Learn about the strengths and limitations of each modality, as well as common misperceptions about each.

    From Clinic to Car: Guiding Clients on Pet Travel Safety

    Treating pets injured in car accidents can be traumatic for your team. But just like human passengers, pets are at risk of serious injury—or worse, death—by collision or when an airbag deploys. In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, Dr. Cassi chats with Dr. Elisa Mazzaferro, a critical care clinician, about the types of injuries Dr. Mazzaferro has seen from unrestrained animals in cars, as well as the risk that is posed to human safety. Riding with pets not safely restrained in the car poses a risk to both the pet and the human driver and passengers. There is also the potential for negatively impacting vehicles that are sharing the roadway with you. They explore different restraint devices and how to communicate risks and car safety principles to pet owners. You’ll learn about resources for veterinary professionals treating pets with these injuries and how to communicate with clients or first responders who are calling about a pet injured in an accident.

    Feeding the Future: An Overview of the PURR Act

    The proposed Pet Food Uniform Regulatory Reform (PURR) Act of 2024 (H.R.7380) would allow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to have regulatory authority over the labeling and ingredient review process for dog and cat food and treats, and would eliminate inconsistent state interpretations and decisions impacting ingredient and pet food label approvals. In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, Dr. Cassi chats with Dana Brooks and Dr. Lindsey Bullen about the process of a bill becoming law and how it differs in reality from what we learned in the “I’m Just a Bill” episode of Schoolhouse Rock!
