Field Practitioner's Guide to Equine Internal Medicine Ultrasonography

Join us for a day of continuing education (RACE-approval pending) where we’ll dive into equine internal medicine ultrasound examinations! This 6-hour course will be divided into a morning lecture portion followed by an afternoon of hands-on practicing ultrasound examinations, with opportunity for feedback and discussion of findings or challenges encountered.

Specific anatomic locations that will be discussed and imaged in the horse will include: the abdomen (focusing on both the FLASH ultrasound exam and the complete abdominal exam), thorax, heart, and vessels.

Learning objectives for the course:

1. Understand the indications for performing ultrasound examinations of the

abdomen, thorax, heart, and vessels in the horse

2. Differentiate between normal and abnormal findings that may be identified in

ultrasound exams

3. Discuss clinically significant findings that may be encountered in ultrasound exams,

and when referral should be recommended

4. Perform ultrasound examinations on live horses to identify and describe structures,

and interpret findings
