S/A WORKSHOP | Two-day Small Animal Abdominal Ultrasound (V12)

Description

The Importance of Developing a Systematic Approach to Abdominal Ultrasound 

Practical two-day course introducing the ASPIRE 8-step technique.

This course provides a refresher on the fundamentals of ultrasound physics and image optimisation and introduces the ASPIRE 8-step technique. Developed to provide a systematic structure to abdominal ultrasound, the 8-steps guide you around the abdomen and ensure you don’t miss a single structure, assess structures comprehensively and, provide a thorough and holistic approach. 

This 2-day workshop will be a combination of lectures, practical demonstrations and small groups practical sessions. 

Learning outcomes:

• Understand the fundamental concepts of ultrasound image formation that underpin high quality diagnostic images
• Develop a clear understanding of how to drive your ultrasound system to maximise image optimisation and improve diagnostic potential
  
• Learn the importance of adopting a thorough, systematic approach to all scans undertaken, and how to assess structures comprehensively in more than one plane
  
• Introduce the ASPIRE 8-step technique into a systemic approach to abdominal ultrasound
• Recognise normal findings and when structures differ from the normal appearances
  

Note: we rely on delegates bringing dogs. Without this you will have limited practical time. 

Aspire UCS provide a novel and detailed approach to teaching with a focus on competency. This is a really exciting opportunity to learn from extremely experienced sonographers.

Speakers: Angie Lloyd-Jones and Julie Burnage, Aspire UCS ltd
