Kyle P. Vititoe, DVM, MS, Diplomate, ACVR, is a Board-certified Veterinary Radiologist at MedVet Indianapolis where he has been part of the team since 2017.
Dr. Kyle Vititoe received a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies from the University of California-Santa Barbara and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Prince Edward Island-Atlantic Veterinary College. Dr. Vititoe went on to complete a yearlong rotating small animal medicine and surgery internship at the University of Illinois. He then completed a three-year diagnostic imaging residency and master’s degree at the University of Illinois, finishing his final year at Purdue University.
His master’s degree research on using computed tomography (CT) to detect cardiac clots in cats with heart disease and congestive heart failure was published in the Journal of Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound. He has additional publications in multiple scientific journals, including work with exotic and small mammal patients.
Dr. Vititoe is particularly interested in using CT without general anesthesia for patients who may otherwise have limited imaging performed and assessing the morphology of portosystemic shunts. He feels fortunate to be able to collaborate with other specialists and doctors within the hospital, and in the community, to achieve the best specialty healthcare pets. He enjoys teaching veterinarians, residents, interns, and students and has lectured on various veterinary radiology topics locally and nationally.
Outside the hospital, Dr. Vititoe enjoys golfing, mountain biking, running, playing bass, and, most importantly, spending time with his wife, two daughters, and two dogs.
