IMV imaging Courses 2026

Course Overview: This course is aimed at those who are already comfortable with basic pregnancy diagnosis via ultrasound and want to start using ultrasound for more pre breeding fertility work and advancing their staging of pregnancy and sexing embryos.

Are you currently using ultrasound for your bovine pregnancy checks? If so, can you advise the farmer to expect a bull or a heifer calf? Can you tell the difference between the ultrasound appearance of follicular and luteal cysts? Do you want to be able to estimate the stage of pregnancy more accurately?

This course is more focussed on theory and case discussion crush side. We assume that you have either already done the basic course or are happy with basic pregnancy diagnosis. The course will give you an opportunity to talk through cases as they come up the race on one of Ireland’s largest and most progressive dairy farms. There will be a huge selection of cows to work on, and we will talk through each case as a group.

Topics Covered:

• Accurate staging/ageing of the pregnancy – refresh your knowledge and get those days accurate
• The pre breeding non pregnant cow – Follicular wave assessment, identifying individual cow’s cycles and how to apply practical hormonal and therapeutic management to get her back in calf as quickly as possible
• Detection of twins – its importance and benefit to the farmer
• Foetal sexing – probe positioning, tips and tricks and making the right call on bull or heifer
• Cystic ovarian disease – follicular or luteal?
• Endometritis, pyometra and unusual ultrasound images – when does it look wrong?
