The three-year residency program in veterinary diagnostic imaging at Colorado State University covers ultrasound, radiology for small and large animals, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, computed tomography and MRI. Because state residents pay significantly less in tuition, the university recommends that students establish Colorado residency during their first year so tuition in additional years will be at a reduced rate. Two manuscripts must be accepted for publication during the veterinary residency. During non-business hours, residents will be on call for emergency care for client animals at the veterinary hospital.

Vets enrolling in this program must be licensed with the state of Georgia, but such an agreement may be completed after arriving at the school. The three-year residency program includes course work and working in the radiology department at the university's veterinary teaching hospital. The radiology clinic serves small and large animals. Departmental equipment includes ultrasounds, MRI, CT/nuclear medicine, and X-ray units with electronic linear tomography and digital fluoroscopy. First year students attend radiology lectures taught to third year students, and over the next two years conduct labs and give lectures in the course. Courses include nuclear medicine, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, special procedures, radiation oncology and radiobiology.
