On-demand image and video reference library
Approximate Study Time: self-paced, on-demand reference resource
 
Course Overview:
Develop confidence in abdominal ultrasound by mastering the appearance, positioning, and expected sonographic findings of normal anatomy. This digital image library provides a comprehensive reference collection of 175+ still images and videos covering the major abdominal organ systems in canine and feline patients.
 
The collection includes standard ultrasound views, anatomical landmarks, measurements, Doppler examples, and efficiency clips demonstrating streamlined scanning approaches to help sonographers improve image acquisition and workflow. Normal presentations, species differences, and age-related sonographic variations are included to help clinicians better recognize what is expected versus what may represent pathology.
 
Designed as an ongoing reference tool for both developing and experienced sonographers, this library supports a systematic approach to abdominal imaging by providing visual benchmarks for liver, gastrointestinal, pancreas, urinary, reproductive, adrenal, lymphatic, vascular, and splenic evaluation.
