Dr. Zwingenberger obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph in 1995. She spent 6 months at the veterinary college in Munich, Germany and worked in small animal and equine practice in British Columbia before starting a large animal internship at the University of Georgia. Following the internship, she worked in small animal practice in England for four years before starting a residency in diagnostic imaging at the University of Pennsylvania in 2001. Dr. Zwingenberger remained at the University of Pennsylvania as a lecturer for one year before joining the faculty at the University of California, Davis as an Assistant Professor of Diagnostic Imaging in 2005. Her areas of research include CT angiography and CT perfusion of dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts, and targeted imaging of canine lymphoma.
