Imaging Director; DVM

Sage Veterinary Imaging Imaging Director (DVM) Spring, TX
· Full time

Bring your clinical expertise to North America’s premier outpatient veterinary imaging centers and help shape the future of patient-first cross-sectional imaging and neuroimaging.

Sage Veterinary Imaging operates North America’s premier outpatient veterinary centers for cross-sectional imaging and neuroimaging. Our mission is to improve the lives of pets by getting answers through advanced, human-quality diagnostic imaging.

Using the most advanced technologies—including 3T MRI, 128-slice CT, ultrasound, radiography, nuclear medicine, and digital cytology,we provide definitive diagnostic information for pets, their families, and referring veterinarians. In partnership with board-certified radiologists, neurologists, and other specialists, we help referring veterinarians make informed decisions and develop effective treatment plans.

We are seeking an experienced veterinarian who wants to bring their clinical expertise into advanced diagnostic imaging. The Imaging Director is responsible for the medical care, clinical decision-making, and coordination of patients undergoing imaging and related procedures. This individual evaluates patients, performs physical and neurologic examinations, manages anesthesia, responds to complications, and communicates with clients and referring veterinarians.

Due to the specialty-driven nature of our work, during the first 90 days, the Imaging Director will develop proficiency in Sage’s clinical workflows across:

• CT and MRI
• Advanced ultrasound
• Scintigraphy
• Image-guided fine-needle aspiration
• Intra-articular nuclear-medicine therapy for canine osteoarthritis
• Radiation safety and nuclear-medicine protocols

The clinical ramp-up will combine direct case experience, independent study, protocol review, specialist consultation, and competency assessment. The Imaging Director is expected to take ownership of their development, actively seek knowledge, apply feedback, and progress rapidly toward independent practice within Sage’s imaging model.
