- How to get the most out of your ultrasound machine
  BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2023
  
  Author Camilla Edwards
  
  In this session we will break down the barriers to you using your ultrasound machine – what is stopping you from using your ultrasound machine – is it lack of time? Is your own self belief in your skills holding you back? Do you not know where to start with the buttons and knobs on your machine? Not sure where to get the best training? After this 35 minute lecture you will feel ready to take the next step to improving your ultrasound skills.
- Regions Now: An introduction to ultrasound for the general practitioner
  BSAVA Webinar Library
  
  Author Camilla Edwards
  
  Camilla Edwards presents a series of cases designed to help the general practitioner gain confidence in the use of ultrasonography. The webinar also includes a feedback survey for those who attended the live Regions Now course. This 90 minute webinar is a recording of the live session from this Regions Now event, brought to you by our South East Region. Regions Now events comprise an introductory lecture with supporting content available one week before a live lecture. This is followed by a one-week online discussion forum allowing participants to offer observations about the lessons learned and describe their own experience in handling cases. Regions Now sessions are free to BSAVA members and available for non-members to book - visit the Regions page of the BSAVA website for details of future Regions Now events. Recordings will be available for 3 years via the BSAVA Webinar Library.

  Perform abdominal point-of-care ultrasonography
  
  Authors: Simon Cook and Laura Cole
  
  Following on from last month’s article on thoracic point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS), Laura Cole and Simon Cook, of the Emergency and Critical Care Department at the Royal Veterinary College, discuss how POCUS can be used to evaluate abdominal emergencies.

- Basics of musculoskeletal ultrasonography
  BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Musculoskeletal Imaging
  
  Authors: Nele Ondreka and Martin Kramer
  
  Ultrasonography has become a routine part of the diagnostic work-up in patients with musculoskeletal pathologies. Recent equipment and software developments such as transducer design, compound imaging, harmonic imaging and signal post-processing have led to substantial improvements in image quality. These advances have expanded the range of applications beyond muscle and tendon pathology to numerous smaller structures such as ligaments and peripheral nerves. This chapter explains the indications for and value of ultrasonography compared with radiography and advanced imaging techniques; equipment; ultrasound examination; normal ultrasonographic anatomy; ultrasonographic abnormalities; interventional procedures. The chapter also includes three video clips.
- Abdominal ultrasonography
  BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Abdominal Imaging
  
  Author Juliette Besso
  
  Ultrasound equipment can be considered in two parts: the transducer, which sends the ultrasound waves out and receives the returning echoes; and the computer which analyses the data, orders the ultrasound waves emission/reception sequence, allows modifications and displays the information as an image. Ultrasound waves are produced by crystals with piezoelectric properties. These crystals vibrate when subjected to an electrical voltage. The vibration amplitude of the crystals, and therefore of the emitted ultrasound waves, is dependent on the natural resonance of the crystals. The drystals are made of natural quartz or a synthetic ceramic, and are located inside the ultrasound transducer. This chapter considers the Basic physics of ultrasound waves; Ultrasound equipment; Ultrasound image; Doppler ultrasonography; and Abdominal examination.
- Basics of thoracic ultrasonography
  BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Thoracic Imaging
  
  Authors: Gabriela Seiler, Joanna Dukes-McEwan and Lorrie Gaschen
  
  Please note. The new 2nd edition of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Thoracic Imaging is now available here.
  
  Non-cardiac thoracic ultrasonography is increasingly used in veterinary medicine. Despite the fact that ultrasound waves are not able to penetrate air-containing lung, there are many applications of non-cardiac thoracic ultrasonography. This chapter covers General thoracic ultrasonography; Echocardiography; Endoscopic thoracic ultrasonography.Detailed examples of possible views are included, along with examples of equations.
- Pleural fluid.
  Long-axis view of the cranial thorax of a cat with a large volume of pleural fluid (transudate). The heart is visible on the right side of the image. The hyperechoic line running horizontally across the image represents the normal slender cranial mediastinum. Both cranial lung lobes are collapsed and are seen as bands of non-aerated tissue on each side of the mediastinum.
- VIDEO 1: Thoracic point-of-care ultrasonography (A)
  Normal B-mode 2D ultrasound clip displaying glide sign as evidence of apposition of the visceral and parietal pleura.
- VIDEO 2: Thoracic point-of-care ultrasonography (B)
  Absence of a glide sign, i.e. no lateral shimmering as evidence of apposition of the two pleura, and hence supports a pneumothorax at this site.
- VIDEO 4: Thoracic point-of-care ultrasonography (D)
  B-lines are defined as hyperechoic lines originating at the PP interface, extending to the far field, obliterating the normal A-lines and moving with inspiration and expiration.
- VIDEO 5: Thoracic point-of-care ultrasonography (E)
  One 'B-line' identified on thoracic POCUS of a dog without any relevant respiratory disease.
- VIDEO 9: Thoracic point-of-care ultrasonography (I)
  The ultrasound beam is fanned upwards through the short axis of the heart from the right-hand side, with marker facing caudally. This clip represents the schematic from Figure 7 of this article.
