This practical one day course will focus on the generation and interpretation of basic cardiac ultrasound images in the dog. The course will provide an overview of the equipment and facilities needed and cover the techniques used in the generation and interpretation of right parasternal long and short axis echocardiographic images.

Topics to be covered include:
- Facilities and equipment required for basic echocardiography in small animal practice
- Generation of right parasternal long and short axis vies of the canine heart
- Interpretation of right parasternal long and short axis vies of the canine heart
- Echocardiography in context – case examples of patients with cardiac disease and the role of echocardiography in diagnosis and management.
Learning objectives:
- The basic principles of echocardiography, the physics behind image generation and the applied anatomy of the heart
