This two day practical course is aimed at vets in general practice who are already comfortable and competent with general abdominal ultrasound and would like to take their skills to the next level.
Delegates will learn how to perform a more thorough ultrasound examination of the abdomen, including the peritoneum, lymph nodes, adrenal glands and the pancreas and what changes may be seen in the diseased state. There will be an introduction to the use of 2D and doppler and their use on the greater abdominal vessels, as well well indications and techniques for performing ultrasound guided biopsies.
This course is highly practical and will give delegates the confidence to perform more complex diagnostic abdominal ultrasound in practice on a wide variety of cases.
TOPICS TO BE COVERED INCLUDE:
The full abdominal ultrasound, including peritoneum and lymph nodes
Further examination of the gastrointestinal tract
Locating the normal pancreas and the adrenals
Examining the great abdominal vessels on 2D and with Doppler
How and what to take as biopsies
As we aim to keep group numbers small and the course has a large practical element, we would ask delegates to bring along an appropriate dog to scan so that we can scan a broad range of cases and give the dogs time out as needed. **If you are unable to bring a dog along, please contact us before booking your place.**
