This seminar series and combined wet lab will introduce the veterinarian to entry level abdominal ultrasound imaging in the small animal practice. The seminar consists of four, 50-minute lectures. The basic physics, an overview of instrumentation, common artifacts, and scanning techniques will be reviewed as well as normal anatomy and appearance of the abdominal organs. Wet lab participants will be introduced to basic ultrasound image manipulation (knobology), physics and artifacts of abdominal ultrasound, learn scanning techniques, know how to identify normal abdominal structures through scanning of live animals. The lecture and wet lab is geared toward entry level abdominal ultrasound. Interaction between the radiologist and the participants will be encouraged.

This lab is useful for veterinarians at all skill levels when it comes to surgical extractions in the dog. Participants will be given instruction on surgical extraction techniques for the major teeth, including maxillary and mandibular canines, maxillary fourth premolars, and mandibular first molars. Using cadaver specimens, principles of proper instrumentation, flap development, alveolar bone removal and management, tooth sectioning, and tension-free closure will be discussed and practiced. Participants will have the flexibility to choose which procedures to perform based on their own experience level. Equipment Sponsored by

By the end of this course participants should have a thorough understanding of: • how to successfully perform a variety of practical soft tissue surgery techniques • recent developments and new techniques in soft tissue surgery • develop a better appreciation for the regional anatomy for each procedure performed • the instructors’ philosophical and technical views on performing a variety of soft tissue surgery procedures This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of practical soft tissue surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the lectures, but emphasis will be placed on ‘how’ to perform each procedure. The instructor will utilize video clips of clinical cases that represent the procedures participants will perform in the lab. Participants will perform the surgical procedures immediately after viewing the video. Ideally, the videos will be viewed in the lab so no time is wasted between seeing the procedure and then performing it on the cadaver. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice and will include: salivary gland resection, TECA-LBO, urethrotomy/urethrostomy, anal sacculectomy, chest drain placement, diaphragmatic hernia repair, splenectomy and incisional gastropexy for the treatment of GDV.

This seminar series and combined wet lab are designed for veterinarians who want to further their training in small animal ultrasound. Lectures will briefly review ultrasound physics and artifacts, and assist the participants in finetuning the image. Normal intra-abdominal structure will be reviewed and abnormal intra-abdominal pathology will be emphasized. Wet lab participants will gain experience in completing a routine small abdominal ultrasound examination, knowledge of normal sonographic anatomy and appearance of commonly identified pathologies. Some of the more challenging intra-abdominal structures to image will be emphasized. Interaction between the radiologist and the participants will be encouraged and the attendees will have an opportunity to address personal areas of concern in their understanding of abdominal ultrasound scanning techniques.
