Designed for veterinarians and veterinary technicians seeking a focused, practical approach to pancreatic ultrasound, from anatomy and image acquisition through recognition of common pancreatic pathology.
 
Instructor: Eric Lindquist, DMV (Italy), DABVP (Canine & Feline), Cert. IVUSS, Founder & CEO of SonoPath
On-Demand Reference Course
Approximate Study Time: Self-paced (reference-based learning)
 
Course Overview:
The pancreas can be one of the most challenging abdominal organs to consistently identify and interpret on ultrasound. This self-paced reference course provides a focused, practical guide to improving pancreatic imaging skills through anatomy review, scanning technique, and pathology recognition.
 
Across six lessons, learners will review the fundamentals of pancreatic sonography, including normal canine and feline pancreatic appearance, patient positioning, hand placement, probe manipulation, and strategies for overcoming common scanning challenges.
 
The course combines still images and video clips to demonstrate efficient image acquisition and interpretation, helping clinicians build confidence when evaluating pancreatic disease in daily practice. From normal anatomy to pancreatitis, necrosis, cystic changes, and neoplasia, this course provides a visual roadmap for understanding pancreatic ultrasound findings.
