Kathy Beck, DVM, DACVR, Section Head
Dr. Beck, a board-certified veterinary radiologist, has been a veterinary radiologist for more than two decades and has seen many advances in diagnostic imaging as it applies to pets. Her areas of expertise include standard radiography (X-rays), cross-sectional imaging modalities of CT and MRI, and ultrasound including guided fine-needle aspirates and biopsies of suspected tissue abnormalities. A particular area of interest is balloon dilatation of esophageal strictures, a procedure that gives her the opportunity to treat patients. She is also the radiation safety officer and directs the nuclear medicine program. As Section Head, she oversees quality assurance for the imaging areas as well as acquisition of new or updated equipment.
