Course Offerings
Basic Small Animal Abdominal Ultrasound
2 Day Class
This course will provide 8 hours of lecture material and approximately 8 hours of hands training. Lecture content will cover basic ultrasound physics, machine operation with focus on creating diagnostic images, general scanning techniques, and the normal ultrasound appearance of the intra-abdominal structures. This will include a review of normal anatomy and normal variants that may be seen sonograhically. During lab training, students will be guided to find and thoroughly examine the intra-abdominal structures, including the hepatobiliary system, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adrenal glands, lymph nodes, and major vasculature.
Intermediate Small Animal Abdominal Ultrasound
2 day class
This course will provide 8 hours of lecture material and approximately 8 hours of hands training. Trainees should already be familiar with general ultrasound scanning techniques and the normal appearance of intra-abdominal structures. Lecture content will cover the ultrasound appearance of abnormalities of the intra-abdominal structures, differentials, and examples of specific diseases. Ultrasound scanning techniques of the cervical region, common musculoskeletal and non-cardiac thoracic applications, and fine needle aspirate techniques will also be covered. During lab training, students will be guided through more difficult abdominal applications (adrenal glands, pancreas, vasculature), cervical and musculoskeletal imaging, and fine needle aspirate techniques using phantoms.
