What do our customers say?

Course rating: 5/5

I really enjoyed the teaching, the online material was really clear and interactive. I have always struggled with ultrasonography and I definitely feel much more confident having done the course. The course gives great practical information which has helped me massively in practice. Definitely the best online material I have ever used

From a nursing point of view, the in house training was great. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to explain structures and landmarks in a way I’ll be able to pass on to other people.

Cannot recommend enough, so involving and informative!

Very thorough instruction at a pace that suited everybody.  Individual one to one help where needed.

Incredibly useful to have training on the actual machine we use, as in the past everything has made sense on an ultrasound cpd day but then has been difficult to apply to our machine

How the modules are created is fantastic.  Really clear information, practical and visual. One of the best CPD I have done and I highly recommended it. 

Vet Solutions (formerly IMV imaging) Courses 2026

Course Overview:

This full day course is for veterinary surgeons comfortable with basic echocardiography and who want to refresh the basics and learn more. The day will be a mixture of interactive lectures, critical appraisal of echo images and hands-on scanning time. Delegates should be comfortable with very basic right sided views, however we will cover a brief refresher and spend some time perfecting these images, then learn to use colour and spectral doppler as well as working on left sided views.

Topics Covered:

• A refresher of basic 2D right-sided echo views and how to optimise them
• An introduction to Doppler ultrasonography – how, when and why it is used
• How to perform the left-sided echocardiographic views
• Get to grips with the measurements needed to make diagnoses and those we can use to assess cardiac function in more detail
• Spotting pathological changes
• Put it into practice – get stuck in!

Equipment and Facilities:

We ask that the majority of delegates bring a dog to scan to allow enough hands on practice, so please let us know if you cannot bring a patient before booking. It is important that the dogs can be clipped as required for an echocardiographic examination.

Kennelling accommodation for the dogs will be available to use if required. Various ultrasound machines will be available to use on the day, however, if you want to bring your own for practice you are welcome to do so, just let us know.

The day will be informal and relaxed with maximum time for hands-on learning. Arrive for tea and coffee from 8.30am, ready to begin the lectures at 9am. We will aim to finish by 5.30pm. Places are limited to a maximum of 8 delegates so book your place early to avoid disappointment. Course notes will be provided

Vet Solutions (formerly IMV imaging) Courses 2026

Course Overview: This course is aimed at those who are already comfortable with basic pregnancy diagnosis via ultrasound and want to start using ultrasound for more pre breeding fertility work and advancing their staging of pregnancy and sexing embryos.

Are you currently using ultrasound for your bovine pregnancy checks? If so, can you advise the farmer to expect a bull or a heifer calf? Can you tell the difference between the ultrasound appearance of follicular and luteal cysts? Do you want to be able to estimate the stage of pregnancy more accurately?

This course is more focussed on theory and case discussion crush side. We assume that you have either already done the basic course or are happy with basic pregnancy diagnosis. The course will give you an opportunity to talk through cases as they come up the race on one of Ireland’s largest and most progressive dairy farms. There will be a huge selection of cows to work on, and we will talk through each case as a group.

Topics Covered:

• Accurate staging/ageing of the pregnancy – refresh your knowledge and get those days accurate
• The pre breeding non pregnant cow – Follicular wave assessment, identifying individual cow’s cycles and how to apply practical hormonal and therapeutic management to get her back in calf as quickly as possible
• Detection of twins – its importance and benefit to the farmer
• Foetal sexing – probe positioning, tips and tricks and making the right call on bull or heifer
• Cystic ovarian disease – follicular or luteal?
• Endometritis, pyometra and unusual ultrasound images – when does it look wrong?
• Case evaluation of ovarian and uterine problems including advice on treatment protocols

Agenda: 8.30 – Arrival, Tea/Coffee. The course will start at 9am with a mixture of lectures and practical scanning sessions in both the morning and afternoon sessions. The day will finish around 5.30pm.
