Veterinary imaging allows vet clinics to accurately and quickly diagnose health concerns, leading to faster treatment and improved prognosis for all types of animals. Whether your clinic specializes in care for household pets, livestock, or wild animals, it can benefit from advanced imaging technology tools. 

However, technology often comes at a steep price. Many clinics lack the trained staff required to use the equipment appropriately. Choice Medical Systems explores the resources below to help you craft your imaging services. 

Onsite Training Options

On-site courses bring education opportunities directly to your clinic. They allow your staff to learn about new technology and diagnostic techniques within the comfort of their familiar workplace. Educators like Danielle Mauragis with Choice Medical Systems can arrange onsite training sessions with your clinic.

Travel CE Courses  

You can also access other diverse education and training sessions to pull your clinic into the future. Our partners at WAVE offer the following courses and seminars that combine remote online training with hands-on learning opportunities. Each participant can earn RACE-approved CE credits for completing these courses.  

Basic Courses

Introductory ultrasound courses include seven hours of online training modules. Your staff can complete them from your clinic within two weeks. Then, they’ll participate in a hands-on eight-hour session conducted by an experienced ultrasound professional.

This course prepares beginners for:

• Understanding when ultrasound technology applies to a case
• Applying ultrasound practices to patient care
• Identifying internal diagnostic artefacts 

Intermediate to Advanced Courses

These courses cover more in-depth usage and practice protocols for advanced diagnostics and patient monitoring. Clinicians have ten days to complete ten hours of online coursework. The modules prepare them for an eight-hour session of hands-on training. 

• Determine how normal vs. abnormal tissues and organs appear 
• Accurately diagnose health concerns
• Apply veterinary consensus scanning techniques

They’ll also learn more about how to use and adjust the equipment to optimize their image.

Educational Seminars

You can also sign up for seminars that cover specific topics. Various animals have different needs. Their bodies’ systems and tissues differ vastly. Therefore, courses designed for particular animals can help your clinic provide exceptional care and accurate diagnoses. 

How an Equipped Staff Benefits Customers and Patients

Diagnostic imaging technology, such as ultrasonography, benefits your clinic, patients, and their caretakers. What exactly can you gain from investing in these educational opportunities and equipment?

• Versatility: Most ultrasound equipment features wheels, is convenient, and is small in size. You can transport your machine from one room to another with little struggle or disruption. 
• Speedy diagnostics and monitoring: You can quickly address the health concern, whether you’ve already diagnosed a patient or have yet to pinpoint their ailment.
• Detailed images: Enhanced clarity and resolution allow for more accurate diagnosis.
• Highly trained staff: Your team members will gain transferable knowledge for a more well-rounded staff.
• More customers: As the demand for advanced veterinary care increases, more pet owners come to clinics providing imaging services. You can get ahead of the curve by purchasing equipment and setting up training sessions. 

Procuring Affordable Imaging Equipment

The next step to imaging service integration involves purchasing and implementing ultrasound equipment into your clinic. The type of equipment you purchase depends on your budget. However, you need reliable, accurate machines regardless of the cost. Providers like Choice Medical Systems offer options to fit most budgets.

Brand-new imaging systems incorporate state-of-the-art technology. No other clinician has used the machines. You can purchase cutting-edge equipment to maintain your clinic’s competitive edge.  

Refurbished Imaging Systems
