The human eye can only distinguish a limited range of grey shades — and in radiology, this is exactly why a systematic approach is so important.
The more we train our eyes and follow a clear protocol, the more information we can gain from every radiograph. GREY is designed to help veterinarians recognise subtle findings, distinguish physiological from pathological changes and interpret X-rays with more confidence in everyday practice.
In this free first module, Dipl. Virginie Barberet focuses on the radiographic interpretation of the lungs in dogs and cats. You will learn how to approach lung patterns more systematically, correlate them with pulmonary diseases and use additional radiographic signs to build a meaningful list of differential diagnoses.
This free module is the first part of the full GREY course.
In the full course, you will continue with thoracic radiographs beyond the lungs, including the cardiac silhouette, mediastinal structures and pleural space. Dipl. Emmelie Stock will then guide you through skeletal radiography, with a focus on distinguishing aggressive from non-aggressive bone lesions, followed by radiography of the urogenital tract and abdominal emergency radiography.
X-rays allow us to quickly gain insight into the body of our patients. With practice and a protocol that can be used in everyday life, we can suddenly detect more and increase our ability to draw meaningful clinical information from radiographs.
If grey is also one of your favourite achromatic colours, we invite you to come and celebrate many “wow, I can see it now!” moments with us.
The full GREY course includes:
Module 1 – Radiographic interpretation of the lungs in dogs and cats
Module 2 – Interpretation of thoracic radiographs in dogs and cats, excluding the lungs
Module 3 – X-ray of bones
Module 4 – Radiography of the urogenital system: From technique to diagnosis
Module 5 – From crisis to clarity: Abdominal emergency radiography
The course is available online from 1 July until 31 August 2026.
To achieve certification of attendance, the course test must be submitted successfully before 31 August 2026.

She became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging in 2009. She remained at Ghent University as an assistant, where she completed her PhD.
Virginie then worked as a Teaching Fellow in Diagnostic Imaging at Bristol Veterinary School between 2010 and 2015. In 2015-2016, she worked for a year as a clinical radiologist in a Veterinary Referral Centre in the UK.
Virginie now works for VET.CT since 2016 as a reporting radiologist and supporting radiologist. Virginie is also VET.CT Director of teleradiology training since 2021.
Emmelie Stock
Dipl. ECVDI (European Specialist in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging®)
She subsequently completed an internship and a residency in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging at the Department of Medical Imaging and Orthopaedics of Small Animals. During her residency, she also successfully completed a PhD entitled “The evaluation of kidney function in cats using non-invasive functional imaging.”
In 2019, she became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (ECVDI).
She is currently working part-time at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Ghent and part-time as an independent imaging consultant.
