This course is designed for participants with limited training in ultrasound looking to become more proficient. If you scan 1-3 times per week and looking to use your ultrasound more, or if you find you are using your ultrasound for cystocentesis and urinary bladder checks only, this course will provide an introduction to the abdomen so that you can use your ultrasound machine to bring your practice to the next level.

This two-day course will focus on how your machine works, how to optimize an image, and how to do a complete ultrasound examination. With a low student to instructor ratio and 8 hours in the laboratory (ultrasounding both dogs and cats), you will find this course will give you all the information needed to understand normal anatomy and how to perform an examination obtaining diagnostic images.

Hands-on training led by expert instructors equals enhanced proficiency and improved ultrasound skills. Build your confidence with accuracy and efficiency with these learning objectives:

  • The participant will understand the basic knobs used on the ultrasound machine, how they work and how they are used to optimize the image
  • The participant will learn the normal anatomy and ultrasound appearance including the liver, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, pancreas, urinary bladder, and gastrointestinal tract.
  • The participant will understand the differences in anatomy between dogs and cats
  • The participant will develop a systematic routine for the evaluation of the entire abdomen.
