Requirements for the position include a DVM or equivalent and Board certification or board eligibility by the American College of Veterinary Radiologist or European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging.

Both Vetpacs and efilm are used for image viewing on top of the line 3 megapixel medical grade Eizo gray scale monitors. Twenty-four image viewing workstations are located throughout the hospital for use with clients, in rounds or special procedures rooms. We also feature separate ultrasound machines in both the large and small animal sections, a nuclear imaging suite with a gamma camera integrating to Mirage software and a helical CT scanner (Picker) for both small and large animal imaging and a 3-D work station. Small animal MRI is currently performed off-site with plans for in-house facilities in the near future. Standing MRI for horses will be available on site in the coming summer. In addition, our active oncology division performs radiation therapy in ?house with an IMRT-capable linear accelerator. Our team includes four experienced technicians and 1 office staff.

Whether your interests are in small or large animal imaging, CT, nuclear medicine or ultrasound, LSU has the team and working environment to support your endeavors.

Being the capital of Louisiana, Baton Rouge is a city rich in culture and entertainment. Its unique nature settings, environment, museums and array of sporting activities make it an exciting place to live and work. Baton Rouge has not been directly affected by the recent disasters which occurred in Louisiana. On the contrary the city has grown since many former citizens and businesses of New Orleans have now relocated in the state capital.

Please feel free to contact me either by telephone or email for more information.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Lorrie Gaschen
