Ultrasound Wet-Lab Program

In the ultrasound wet lab participants will have the opportunity to work in small groups with several different experienced equine ultrasonographers. A variety of regions will be covered, with ample time for hands on experience and practice. A short demonstration will be given by the instructor at each station, then participants will have a chance to image the region with instructor guidance and on additional practice horses. Abnormal examples will be provided. Areas to be evaluated include: metacarpus, fetlock, pastern, proximal suspensory region, stifle, back/sacroiliac region and cervical facet joints. The ultrasound wet-lab will be held at Mystic Valley Hunt Club.

*** UPDATED INFORMATION ***

The NEAEP appreciates hearing feedback and receiving input from its members and symposium participants.  We have received a number of requests regarding the use of specific ultrasound machines during the Ultrasound Wet-Lab Program.  The NEAEP is proud to offer ultrasound machines for use during this wet-lab, as these machines have been very graciously provided by our supportive vendors.  During their time at Dr. Redding’s and Dr. Taeymans’ stations, participants are free to utilize their own personal ultrasound machines or a machine already provided for this purpose.  If time permits, following the structured program, our wet-lab speakers and ultrasound company representatives will be available for additional coaching for any participant that may have specific questions regarding the optimal use of their personal ultrasound machine.  The NEAEP recognizes the importance of gaining experience not only in ultrasonography as a whole, but in developing techniques that participants can use when they return to their practices, so we are delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to utilize your clinic’s own ultrasound machine during a specific part of this wet-lab experience.
