About the Course

Professor Jean-Marie Denoix of the CIRALE (Centre of Imaging and Research on Equine Locomotor Affections) in Normandy is considered the world’s foremost equine musculoskeletal system anatomist aswell as a leading equine diagnostic ultrasonographer and lameness diagnostician. This practical one day course, led by Professor Denoix, will include live demonstrations of the ultrasonographic anatomy of the equine neck, back, pelvis and stifle in normal horses, with discussion of the diagnostic features of common clinical conditions affecting these areas. For the afternoon practical sessions, delegates will be divided into small groups to allow hands-on ultrasound imaging of live horses. There will also be opportunities to practise ultrasound-guided injections using cadaver material.
