Radiology Diagnostics

In Vienna Vet’s opinion, the foundation of excellent veterinary care is accurate and prompt diagnostics. Our advanced pet radiology department is staffed by skilled professionals committed to providing your pets with accurate, compassionate, and timely diagnostic services. We have cutting-edge technology. Our radiology diagnostics help us identify the underlying causes of health issues, ensuring that your pet receives the best care and treatment available.

Our Radiology Services

Digital X-rays (Radiography)

Digital radiography is a vital tool in modern veterinary medicine. High-resolution digital images of your pet’s internal structures are taken at Vienna Vet using cutting-edge digital X-ray systems. There are several benefits to this technology:

  • Better Picture Quality: Our veterinarians can thoroughly examine bones, joints, lungs, hearts, and abdominal organs with the help of digital X-rays, which produce clear, detailed images.

  • Reduced Radiation Exposure: Compared to conventional film X-rays, advanced digital sensors use much less radiation, ensuring the safety of your pet. Our team can make quick, knowledgeable decisions about your pet’s care thanks to the immediate availability of images.

  • Not invasive and not stressful: The procedure doesn’t hurt and usually doesn’t require sedation, which makes it less stressful for your pet.

Digital radiography is highly useful for detecting fractures, arthritis, respiratory problems, cardiac issues, gastrointestinal problems, and other conditions. It also helps track the effectiveness of treatments and the progress of recovery after surgery.

Ultrasound Pictures

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that creates real-time images of your pet’s internal organs by using high-frequency sound waves. Our experienced vets at Vienna Vet use ultrasound to check the following abdominal organs:

  • Liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, intestines, and reproductive organs.

  • Heart Health: A thorough look at the structure and function of the heart.

  • Soft Tissue Masses: Finding and describing tumours, cysts, and fluid buildups.

Early-stage tumours, organ enlargement, and internal bleeding are just a few of the conditions that ultrasound can help diagnose that X-rays might not show. It is also often used to assist with procedures that aren’t very invasive, such as biopsies and draining fluids.

Diagnostic Expertise and Collaborative Care

Our radiology team comprises highly trained veterinarians and certified technicians with extensive experience in veterinary imaging. They carefully examine each picture, using their knowledge to identify minor issues and ensure they obtain the correct diagnosis.
We think that providing veterinary care should be done collaboratively. Our radiology experts work closely with your pet’s regular veterinarian, sharing their findings and developing treatment plans tailored to your pet’s specific needs. This teamwork ensures that your pet receives consistent care and that the best possible results are achieved.

Dr. Michaela Gradinger

Clinic Owner & Veterinarian

Dr. Michaela Gradinger is the founder and lead veterinarian at Vienna Vet, established in 2013 to bring compassionate, high-quality veterinary care to Dubai’s beloved pets. Born and raised in Vienna, Austria, Michaela fulfilled her lifelong dream of opening a clinic where expert treatment, empathy, and teamwork come together—where animals are cared for as if they were family.

She earned her veterinary degree from the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, where she also began her career. Over the next several years, Michaela gained extensive experience across a variety of settings—from busy emergency clinics like Tierklinik Währing Dr. Hutter & Hutter to Austria’s largest animal shelter, Tierschutzhaus Vösendorf.

In 2004, she moved to Dubai to take on the role of sole veterinarian at Jumeirah Veterinary Clinic, where she provided care for a wide range of pets for nearly a decade. This experience laid the groundwork for Vienna Vet, which she founded to deliver personalized, first-class care for every patient—from hamsters to hounds.

Michaela specializes in small animal veterinary medicine with a tailored approach to every case. Her surgical skills are as diverse as her patient list, including everything from a chameleon’s broken jaw to tumor removals on tiny rodents, and even complex orthopedic procedures like cruciate repairs in aging dogs.

From day one, she made it a priority to support street cat rescue and community animal welfare programs, believing that world-class veterinary care should extend to all animals, not just those with homes.

When she’s not in the clinic, Michaela enjoys time with her two young children—often at the beach. She also fondly remembers her former passions for diving, horseback riding, and camping, which used to keep her energized outside of work.
