Do you want to advance your ultrasound skills to broaden the use of ultrasonography in your practice?
This course will support the small animal practitioner interested in ultrasonography to take their small animal ultrasound skills to the next level.
The course will help to refine scanning techniques for advanced applications in the abdomen and neck. To get the most from this course participants should have attended other ultrasound courses and be reasonably confident in their basic ultrasound skills in evaluating the larger abdominal organs – liver and gallbladder, spleen, kidney, urinary bladder and gastrointestinal tract.
Why do this course?
The course will help you to utilise your ultrasound unit to optimise image quality and give you the confidence to broaden the use of ultrasonography in your practice.
