A Hands-On, 2-Day Intensive Training
Elevate your diagnostic skills with this highly interactive course designed to maximize the effectiveness of abdominal ultrasound examinations. Through a combination of expert-led lectures and immersive practical sessions, you’ll gain the confidence and proficiency needed to perform and interpret abdominal scans with precision.
What You’ll Learn:
In-depth review of normal vs. abnormal findings in key abdominal structures:
Liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, pancreas, and lymph nodes
Common pathologies—recognize masses, cysts, calculi, and other clinically significant changes.
Optimizing ultrasound technique—probe positioning and artifact avoidance.
Why This Course Stands Out:
✅ Hands-on scanning with live animals—practice in real time under expert guidance.
✅ Multiple ultrasound machines—gain experience with different equipment.
✅ Small-group sessions—personalized feedback to refine your skills
✅ Taught by an industry leader—Dr. Heng Hock Gan, former Head of Diagnostic Imaging at Purdue University, shares his extensive expertise.
✅Up to 16 CPD points (AVS Structured S1 )
Who Should Attend?
Practicing veterinarians looking to enhance their diagnostic imaging skills
Veterinary students and interns seeking practical ultrasound training
Veterinary technicians supporting ultrasound diagnostics
Secure your place today and take the next step in mastering abdominal ultrasound.
Introduction to Dr Heng Hock Gan
Dr Heng earned his DVM degree at the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia in 1993 and later completed his MVS degree at the University of Melbourne, Australia. From there, he moved to the United States to complete his residency and MS degree at the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in 2004. Dr Heng then returned to the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia as a lecturer before joining the Purdue Veterinary Medicine faculty in 2007. Dr Heng also became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging in 2004 and a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiology in 2005. Dr Heng's research interests include ultrasounds of the gastrointestinal tract, forensic radiology, imaging of neoplasia, and imaging of orthopaedic diseases.
