Practical Abdominal Ultrasound: From Basics to Confident Scanning

This intensive two-day course is designed for veterinary professionals who want to develop a structured and practical approach to abdominal ultrasonography. Combining focused lectures with extensive hands-on training, delegates will gain the knowledge and confidence required to perform a systematic abdominal ultrasound examination and recognise common abnormalities in small animal patients.

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

1. Optimise ultrasound machine settings for abdominal examinations.
2. Perform a systematic and efficient abdominal ultrasound scan.
3. Identify normal abdominal organs and key anatomical landmarks.
4. Recognise common ultrasonographic abnormalities and understand their clinical significance.
5. Improve confidence in image acquisition, interpretation, and reporting.
6. Integrate abdominal ultrasound findings into everyday clinical decision-making.

This course is ideal for practitioners with limited ultrasound experience as well as those looking to consolidate their existing skills and develop greater confidence when scanning abdominal cases in practice.
