Building on your experience, the aim of this course is to assist you to develop a logical and thorough approach in the use of ultrasound in veterinary practice. The first module will address the technical know-how needed to control the machine and understand its limitations. Thereafter, each of the next nine modules will deal with a region or body system.
The notes will provide you with an outline of the anatomy, normal sonographic anatomy and sonographic pathology of the area of interest. A list of the course requirements can be found on page 3 of the oourse information brochure. You need to fulfil some basic requirements for this course before you can register; you must have at least one year's experience using an ultrasound machine to commence this course.
