The mission of the Zoo and Aquarium Radiology Database is to serve as a transformative resource empowering veterinary professionals to leverage diagnostic imaging to advance the standard of zoo and aquarium animal care and wellbeing; support global wildlife conservation; and promote scientific discovery. The ZARD, housed at Brookfield Zoo Chicago, is a collaborative effort between multiple zoological institutions to provide an innovative and centralized online reference tool. Across taxa, leading institutions contributed thousands of digital radiographs and CT scans approved by board-certified radiologists as quality reference images for each species. Veterinarians and related professionals engaged in zoo, wildlife, and aquatic medicine or other life sciences will benefit from this resource when used to overcome diagnostic challenges that augment caring for non-domestic species. The ZARD is easily accessible through a cloud-interface. 

 We encourage registering for a free user account so you can explore the database and utilize the resource as needed to help with radiographic interpretation.
