Ključne oblasti

  • Mučite se da saznate da li je taj beli deo na plućima zaista patologija?
  • Brinete da biste mogli da propustite crevnu opstrukciju usled stranog tela?
  • Niste sigurni koje su radiografske indikacije za hiruršku intervenciju!

Šta vam omogućava ovaj kurs?

  • Razvijanje efikasne i praktične tehnike za čitanje radiografskih snimaka pasa i mačaka
  • Praktičan rad u grupama koristeći veliki broj radiografskih slučajeva uz klinički pristup

Tokom ovog kursa ćete poboljšati svoje znanje iz radiografije pasa i mačaka, kreirati sopstvenu tehniku čitanja radiografskih snimaka i izoštriti svoje kliničke veštine.

Thoracic Radiology – in depth

Radiography of thorax, abdomen and musculoskeletal system

by | Mar 19, 2023

Key Areas

  • Develop an effective and practical technique for reading radiographs of dogs and cats
  • Practice your radiograph reading skills using a large number of radiographic cases
  • Assess your improvement in radiographic interpretation at appropriate intervals through online assessment exercises

About this course

Struggling with knowing whether that white bit on the lung is really a problem? Worried that you might miss an intestinal obstruction of a foreign body? Wondering what is this funky looking lesion in the stifle? In other words – would you like to enhance your confidence in interpreting radiographs?

During this course, you will enhance your knowledge of small animal radiology, create your own radiographic reading technique and sharpen your skills at reading radiographs. A variety of radiographic cases will be used for individual review and group discussions. This will enable you to practice your reading technique and to share your experiences while enhancing your skills in assessing radiographs.

Why do this course?

At the end of this course you will have developed your own structured system of evaluating radiographs, acquired experience in reporting and diagnosing common and more challenging radiographic abnormalities and developed a logical approach to reading and interpreting a radiographic study.
