The delegate will gain a sound understanding of the location and normal appearance of the adrenal glands, pancreas and prostate, which are traditionally regarding as being more difficult to identify on ultrasound. Common diseases of these organs will also be reviewed. The principles of Doppler Ultrasound including the physics and how and when to use Doppler Ultrasound will be discussed in detail and the final session will provide the delegate with an in-depth introduction to the art of hunting for the portosystemic shunt.

Programme

Pancreas, Adrenals & Prostate

What you’ll learn:

• Easy step-by-step guide to locating the pancreas, left and right adrenal glands and the prostate
• Become familiar with the normal appearance of these organs
• Recognise the ultrasonographic features of some of the more common conditions associated with these organs including pancreatitis, adrenal masses and prostatic neoplasia

A guide to Doppler Ultrasound

What you’ll learn:

• Understand the physics of the Doppler Effect
• Learn how to interpret a Doppler spectral display
• Learn how to interpret a Doppler spectral display

Portosystemic shunt evaluation

What you’ll learn:

• Review the basic theory of the different types of portosystemic shunt in dogs including both congenital and acquired portosystemic shunts
• Principles of interpretation of portal vein size and flow with respect to the shunt hunt
• Specific examples of some of the more common types of shunt will be given with the use of both ultrasound and computed tomography
