Dr. Ringold attended the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in Madison, WI where he earned a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. He then completed an internship in small animal medicine, surgery, and critical care at the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Fort Collins, CO. He practiced emergency medicine and shelter medicine in San Diego, CA for 10 years while teaching at a community college and volunteering at the wildlife rehabilitation center for endangered species of small cats.

Overview:
This presentation will help practitioners to more confidently evaluate the radiographic appearance of the pulmonary parenchyma. Attendees will develop a paradigm for how to assess pulmonary patterns and how to use this assessment to generate differential diagnoses and to develop a clinical course of action.Learning Objectives:
- To better recognize the common pulmonary patterns
- To understand how disease processes of the pulmonary parenchyma which occur on a microscopic level appear on radiographs
- To use an understanding of the observed pulmonary patterns to narrow the differential diagnoses
This course is RACE-approved for 1.0 continuing education credits hours in jurisdictions that accept RACE-approval.
