AbdoPlus: A Step Further In Small Animal Abdominal Ultrasound
Course Overview: Aimed at veterinary surgeons who are comfortable with basic abdominal ultrasonography and who want to take their skills a step further, this one-day course will teach you to refine your technique and enable you to tackle the trickier abdominal organs.
The day comprises a combination of lectures and practical sessions, aiming to give as much hands-on time using an ultrasound machine as possible.

- Where to find the adrenal glands, including relevant anatomical landmarks
- Learn the landmarks that help us to locate the pancreas and how to identify normal vs abnormal
- Find and examine the major blood vessels and abdominal lymph nodes
- Put it into practice under the guidance of a diagnostic imaging diplomat– use the techniques and knowledge gained on the day to practice your ultrasound skills on real dogs
