Dr. Susanne Stieger-Vanegas is a board-certified veterinary radiologist. She earned her degree from the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, in 1995. Initially, she worked in a small animal clinic in Vienna before pursuing a doctoral program at the same university, focusing on gallbladder disease in dogs. Subsequently, she completed a comprehensive diagnostic imaging residency at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, in collaboration with the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Switzerland, in 2001. Following her residency, she served as a lecturer at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden. From 2003 to 2007, she undertook a PhD program concentrating on ultrasound imaging of tumor angiogenesis and utilizing ultrasound to enhance vascular permeability. This was conducted at the Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis. In 2009, she joined the team at the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, where she is currently a full professor. Her research interests encompass a wide range of areas, including computed tomography and ultrasound applications in gastrointestinal, complex cardiac, and musculoskeletal diseases in dogs and New World Camelids. Additionally, her research delves into 3D modeling and printing of intricate disease processes in various species, including small, large, and exotic animals. The primary aim of this work is to gain a deeper understanding of complex disease mechanisms, offer tools for improved student learning, and enhance patient outcomes by providing personalized treatment planning and care through 3D models.
