Dr. Rozear has been associated with Central Hospital since 2003, interpreting many of our radiographs and performing abdominal and cardiac ultrasounds. He is now here on a full time basis Monday through Friday. He is a 1998 graduate of North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. He completed a small animal medicine and surgery internship at Boston Road Animal Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1999 and continued his studies with a radiology residency at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2002. Shortly after completing his residency, he passed the ACVR board examination (2002), thus becoming a diplomate of theAmerican College of Veterinary Radiology. After serving as radiologist at Rowley Memorial Animal Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr. Rozear founded Northeast Veterinary Imaging, LLC (NVI), a private veterinary radiology practice in Connecticut and online.
Molly Viner, DVM, DACVR
Dr. Molly Viner received her undergraduate degree in animal science from University of Connecticut in 2013. She traded east coast for west coast and attended veterinary school at University of California, Davis, graduating in 2017. Following veterinary school, she completed a rotating equine internship at Fairfield Equine in Connecticut, where she built upon her passion for advanced imaging and ultrasound. Dr. Viner took the plunge into imaging and moved to the Midwest where she completed a one-year diagnostic imaging internship followed by a three-year radiology residency at University of Wisconsin, finishing in July 2022. Her and her husband, both originally from Connecticut, are busy getting settled in their new house in Stratford and are very excited to be back home!

Diagnostic Imaging For Small Animals
We employ the use of digital radiology, including dental radiology. The employment of radiological tools such as X-rays allows us to see inside the body of your pet, identifying problems with parts of the body such as the lungs, heart, bones, oral cavity, and abdominal cavity. We can use radiological imaging to identify fractures, growths, obstructions, foreign bodies, and more. We are pleased to use the best digital X-ray systems available in the nation. Our X-ray images can be viewed on a computer screen quickly after taking the image, enabling us to diagnose the problem and discuss it with you right away.
CT (Computed Tomography) Scan
In addition to radiographs, we employ our CT Scan machine for any additional imaging your pet may need. CT Scans need to be scheduled by your family veterinarian or by a hospital staff doctor. A CT scan makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual “slices”) of specific areas of a scanned animal, allowing the user to see inside the body of your pet without surgical incisions. Other terms include computed axial tomography (CAT scan) and computer aided tomography.
