This course is intended for veterinarians already experienced in basic ultrasonography of the abdomen and competent in two-dimensional scanning of the main abdominal organs. Veterinarians with basic skills as well as advanced knowledge are welcome! It is a very practical course on the main topic Gastrointestinal Tract (stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas and biliary system) with a nice mixture of theoretical sessions, case discussions within the group and practical scanning sessions in which every individual participant can choose his/her own scanning goal he/she would like to practice on. During the practical sessions, the participants will rotate in small groups of 4-5 participants through different stations with experienced instructors where individual coaching of how to obtain good imaging planes is the main focus. A great opportunity to pick up the techniques of a good echocardiographic examination in a one-on-one situation.
