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. You need to fulfil some basic requirements for this course before you can register. Please contact us by email.
