1794: bats were discovered to navigate using echolocation, the reflection of high frequency sounds. This discovery became the basis of ultrasound physics.

1942: the first use of sonography for medical diagnoses. An UltraSound beam was transmitted through the human skull attempting to detect brain tumors.

1956: the first application of UltraSound to animals. A "somascope" ultrasonic unit was used to measure the back fat thickness on beef cattle.

2021: Over the past few years an ever increasing number of animal owners have come to expect diagnostic imaging such as UltraSound to be part of the "standard of care" for their animals. Rather than refer clients out of their clinic, more and more veterinarians are deciding to provide UltraSound in-house to offer a more complete client/patient service while adding a valuable profit center.

Dr. Blount invites you to attend this unique 17 CE Hour seminar which explores exactly how UltraSound plays a vital role in successful diagnosis and treatment.

• This seminar is predominantly cased based lecture with a short dry lab that presents practical UltraSound knowledge and options for dogs and cats you can put to use starting immediately in your clinic.
  

• This dictates a primary focus of this seminar which is for attendees to learn how to effectively recognize sonographic abnormalities which can greatly enhance the patient's diagnosis and care.
  

• This seminar also helps attendees discover many little known and often overlooked secrets to make sonograms much easier to obtain and read, and then determine how to put the images to the most effective use.
