Do you find thoracic radiographs difficult to interpret?
The challenge in interpreting thoracic radiographs is usually not because the anatomy is complicated, diseases are numerous or making the radiographs is particularly difficult. It is more likely that you need to develop a more decisive approach to your radiographic assessment. We can help with that!
This one-day course for small animal veterinarians will refresh aspects of thoracic radiographic anatomy and essential pathological concepts. Delegates will then work through cases individually or in small groups to practice interpreting radiographs. Emphasis will be on the most prevalent conditions affecting dogs and cats in first opinion practice as well as common causes of error.
Why do this course?
Participating in face-to-face, case-based tuition in thoracic radiology will enable you to enhance your knowledge and understanding of this essential first-opinion practice skill.
