This course was developed to provide equine practitioners with the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills of ultrasound image acquisition and interpretation of the upper front- and hindlimbs, the poll, neck, withers, back and pelvis. There will be plenty of opportunity for attendees to further improve their scanning skills in small groups (2 – 4 vets per ultrasound machine) on live horses during the 7 hours of practical sessions. Each attendee will rotate through the following practical stations: Shoulder joint & bicipital bursa, stifle joint region, poll & neck, withers & back, percutaneous ultrasound of hip & pelvis and transrectal ultrasound of the lumbosacroiliac region & pelvis.
