GRH Ultrasonography

Angie Lloyd-Jones presents a quiz covering the how’s, what’s and why’s of ultrasonography of the adrenal glands and pancreas. This webinar is part of BSAVA’s Clinical Rounds series. These 90-minute sessions are designed to appeal to all vets regardless of the point in their career. The live sessions are available to BSAVA members only and are held on the second Monday of every month – places are on a first come first served basis. Visit our CPD calendar to reserve your place.

Camilla Edwards presents a series of cases designed to help the general practitioner gain confidence in the use of ultrasonography. The webinar also includes a feedback survey for those who attended the live Regions Now course. This 90 minute webinar is a recording of the live session from this Regions Now event, brought to you by our South East Region. Regions Now events comprise an introductory lecture with supporting content available one week before a live lecture. This is followed by a one-week online discussion forum allowing participants to offer observations about the lessons learned and describe their own experience in handling cases. Regions Now sessions are free to BSAVA members and available for non-members to book - visit the Regions page of the BSAVA website for details of future Regions Now events. Recordings will be available for 3 years via the BSAVA Webinar Library.

   In the first of two articles, Simon Cook and Laura Cole of the Emergency and Critical Care Department at the Royal Veterinary College, discuss how point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) can be used to evaluate thoracic emergencies.

Ultrasonography has become a routine part of the diagnostic work-up in patients with musculoskeletal pathologies. Recent equipment and software developments such as transducer design, compound imaging, harmonic imaging and signal post-processing have led to substantial improvements in image quality. These advances have expanded the range of applications beyond muscle and tendon pathology to numerous smaller structures such as ligaments and peripheral nerves. This chapter explains the indications for and value of ultrasonography compared with radiography and advanced imaging techniques; equipment; ultrasound examination; normal ultrasonographic anatomy; ultrasonographic abnormalities; interventional procedures. The chapter also includes three video clips.

Please note. The new 2nd edition of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Thoracic Imaging is now available here.

Non-cardiac thoracic ultrasonography is increasingly used in veterinary medicine. Despite the fact that ultrasound waves are not able to penetrate air-containing lung, there are many applications of non-cardiac thoracic ultrasonography. This chapter covers General thoracic ultrasonography; Echocardiography; Endoscopic thoracic ultrasonography.Detailed examples of possible views are included, along with examples of equations.
