Lights off, brains on: Let's read radiographs together!
Recording of Wednesday May 13, 2026 Zoom Session
Expires on November 30, 2026
Speaker:
Dr. Marc Seitz, DVM, DACVR, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice), Associate Clinical Professor of Diagnostic Imaging Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Mississippi State University
Description:
Diagnosing gastrointestinal obstructions: tips and tricks.
Mechanical gastrointestinal obstructions are an important differential in dogs and cats with an acute history of vomiting. In this session, a case-based review will be used to illustrate the key radiographic findings of pyloric outflow, small intestinal, and linear foreign body obstructions. Nine tips and tricks for maximizing radiographic yield before moving on to ultrasound will also be reviewed, such as the importance of a left lateral projection, pneumogastrogram, pneumocolonogram, and compression radiography.
No, It’s not heart failure: a thoracic radiography case series.
While left sided congestive heart failure is a common respiratory emergency, many animals are misdiagnosed with this condition due to the overlapping radiographic appearance of other respiratory emergencies. This session will use a case series to review the radiographic diagnosis of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, chronic lower airway disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary thromboembolism, atypical appearing metastatic neoplasia, and pulmonary hemorrhage.

Dr. Marc Seitz
DVM, DACVR, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice), Associate Clinical Professor of Diagnostic Imaging Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Mississippi State University
Dr. Seitz is an Associate Clinical Professor of Diagnostic Imaging at Mississippi State University (MSU). He earned both his B.S. in biochemistry and his DVM from MSU. After graduation, he spent eight years in private practice as both an emergency clinician and general practitioner prior to returning to MSU as an emergency faculty member. While in private practice, he earned Diplomate status with the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (Canine and Feline). Due to his interest in performing and teaching ultrasound, he completed a residency in diagnostic imaging and is now a full-time board-certified radiologist. His research and teaching interests primarily involve ultrasound and radiography. In addition to clinical practice, he thoroughly enjoys teaching, with the goal of translating sound medical practices and current veterinary literature into useful clinical skills for both emergency clinicians and general practitioners. His passion for teaching has been recognized through the Zoetis Distinguished Veterinary Teaching Award (2016) and the MSU-CVM Dean’s Pegasus Award for Teaching (2022).
