About the Course

This course is aimed at covering principles of musculoskeletal ultrasonography. The normal anatomy of the metacarpal and metatarsal region will be covered. Superficial digital flexor tendon, deep digital flexor tendon, inferior check ligament and suspensory ligament injuries will be specifically covered. Likewise, injuries to the palmar or plantar pastern region and its normal ultrasonography will also be covered. Other areas covered will include the ultrasonography of tendon sheaths and bursae as well as imaging of joints including the stifles, hock, carpus and fetlock joints.
