The American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR) is a member-driven, not-for-profit organization consisting of over 800 accredited veterinary radiologists and radiation oncologists. The college was founded in 1961 by veterinarians committed to advancing veterinary diagnostic imaging for the benefit of animal health. Members undergo rigorous post-graduate (after veterinary college) training in a three or four-year residency program, followed by a comprehensive examination. The ACVR is one of 22 veterinary specialties recognized by the American Board of Veterinary Specialties (ABVS) of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
