Sound Technologies Education

Welcome to the Sound Technologies education website. 

Sound Technologies is committed to providing continuing education in veterinary ultrasound.  The materials presented in this site are designed to supplement the Sound Seminar Series education courses.

When should you perform an ultrasound in a dog or cat? Examples of these cases include the presence of a heart murmur, elevated liver enzymes or ascites. See the indications section for more indications for cardiac and abdominal ultrasound in small animal practice. 

Who likes physics? Most of us do not, but an understanding of physics and principles of ultrasound helps with image interpretation. See the basics section which provides information covering ultrasound principles, artifacts and image optimization.

For successful scanning, a consistent, methodical protocol should be followed. The protocols section provides detailed abdominal ultrasound protocols in PDF format, as well as in interactive PowerPoint format.  An interactive PowerPoint describing ultrasound-guided biopsy technique is also presented. 

Ultrasound help to diagnose diarrhea or anorexia in a cat. See the case studies section for real case studies that use ultrasound as part of the diagnostic workup.

After you attend our education seminars and offer ultrasound in your practice, telemedicine can expand your knowledge base and enhance the value of the service you offer. Board-certified specialists can assist you with radiograph interpretation, ultrasound imaging technique and image interpretation and cytology interpretation, as well as case management. See the telemedicine section to learn more about the telemedicine services that are available.

So you have your new ultrasound machine and now are ready to learn how to best use it? The install info section will provide information important to know before the day of on-site training takes place in your clinic. Knobology information for different GE equipment is also provided on the equipment info page.
