Course Overview:
CTUSS explores one of the most important concepts in modern veterinary diagnostics: knowing when to use ultrasound, when to choose CT, and when combining both modalities provides the greatest clinical value.
 
This practical, case-based course examines the strengths, limitations, and complementary roles of CT and ultrasound across a wide range of body systems and clinical presentations. Using real-world examples, Dr. Lindquist discusses how imaging decisions should be guided by patient presentation, clinical signs, anatomy, stability, and diagnostic goals as well as modality availability.
 
Topics include the application of CT in the head, spine, neck, skeleton, thorax, abdomen, pelvic canal, and perineum, alongside ultrasound applications in the head, musculoskeletal system, thorax, and abdomen. Case discussions include sampling techniques and cytologic findings, helping bridge imaging interpretation with clinical diagnostics and patient management.
 
Designed for practical implementation, this course helps clinicians improve diagnostic efficiency, avoid unnecessary testing, and maximize the strengths of both imaging modalities in daily practice.
