This course is designed for those veterinary surgeons with limited experience in diagnostic ultrasound. By the end of the course, you should be able to achieve a medium level of proficiency in the practical scanning of the normal abdominal organs and of the heart.
Some common pathological conditions affecting the small animal abdomen and heart will be considered. Advice will be given on how to choose an ultrasound machine for your practice.
Digital course notes, refreshments, and lunch will be provided on both days.
Places are strictly limited to nine delegates to ensure every participant receives tailored, hands-on guidance, maximised practical time, and personalised feedback from expert tutors.
