Are you a busy vet who just does not have the time to practice your scanning skills? 🤔
Believe me, I've been there too! In between life, work and family, how on earth are you supposed to learn to interpret blobs on a screen?
Don't worry - I've got you ❤️
With a few simple habits, you can ensure that you have time to pick up the probe and simply have a go.
Do it once and you're already one step ahead. Do it twice and you're halfway there!

Who says a vet can’t carry a tune? 😆
Sometimes, a little serenade is all it takes to keep our patients calm and stress-free during procedures.
Singing not only soothes their nerves but makes the experience a little brighter for everyone involved! 🤣

Somewhere in the world right now, I'm pretty sure someone is shaking a drip pump in anger 😆
Sometimes, drip pumps do not want to play ball. Whilst the sensitivity alarm is there for a good purpose, it can very often be a little TOO sensitive!
I'm going to be honest, I still hear the sound of the drip pump alarm in my NIGHTMARES 🫠

Preparation is key - and that definitely applies to ultrasound appointments! A little planning goes a long way in making the experience smooth for both you and your patients. 🙌
That's why I'm here to give you a friendly reminder to stick to a routine for all your scanning sessions.
But let's be real; we've all been there when we've forgotten the little details or even the obvious ones, and it leads to an awkward and uncomfortable appointment.
So, let's avoid those hiccups and make sure we've got all our bases covered 😄

Ever tried to restrain a wiggly pet in prep 🤔😂
It's like holding onto a furry tornado!
Sometimes, it takes a funny trick or two to keep them calm and still, but the right methods can make a huge difference.
✨ Here are a few techniques that work best for me:
1️⃣ Gentle pressure - Use a towel wrap or hold, giving them a sense of safety.
2️⃣ Distraction - Treats, toys, or even your soothing voice can shift their focus from fear to fun! (Bonus points for singing)
3️⃣ Teamwork - Having an extra set of hands can be super helpful for safe and calm restraint.
Remember, it’s all about patience, comfort, and making sure they feel safe that is key!
What’s your go-to method for calming a squirmy pet?

Ahh, the joys of ultrasound terminology 🤯 🤣
Let's have a quick rundown of the terms we often use whilst carrying out an ultrasound!
Hyperechoic
Structures that appear brighter on the ultrasound due to stronger sound wave reflection (e.g., bone or gas).
Hypoechoic
Structures that appear darker because they reflect fewer sound waves (e.g., abdominal organs).
Anechoic
Completely black areas, indicating no sound wave reflection, often seen with fluids like blood or urine.
Acoustic Shadowing
A dark shadow behind a structure that blocks sound waves, like a bladder stone or a rib.

Struggling to make sense of all those buttons on your ultrasound machine? Don’t worry, you’re not alone!
Ultrasound is an amazing tool for diagnosing internal issues in animals, but optimising your image can feel overwhelming 🤯
In my blog post, I break it down with 5 key buttons to focus on:
✨ Overall Gain
✨ Time Gain Compensation
✨ Frequency
✨ Focal Zone
✨ Depth
Mastering these will take your imaging to the next level!
Check your manual or experiment with these settings to see the difference.

Are you wishing for your ultrasound images to be sharp and more accurate? 🤔
Don't forget your focal zone! This is where your ultrasound beam is the narrowest, which produces the clearest image.
By remembering these three adjustments, you can say hello to clearer images:
Structure: Position the focal zone over the area of interest for the clearest image, or at the bottom of a large organ. Aim to move it every time you adjust depth 😄
Practise: Experiment with adjusting the focal zone as you scan - notice the effects of having it in the wrong place as well as the correct place. Even slight changes can transform the clarity of your scans 💪
Feedback: Take a close look at your images after making these adjustments. What do you notice? Use this insight to refine your approach 💻

Wow - sometimes we have some long stints of surgery at the veterinary practice, don't we? 😅
Remember to lean on your team and work together to make procedures go as smoothly as possible!
How do you run this at work? Do you have a theatre lead or do you muddle together to get the job done? 🐶

Struggling with blurry images or a fuzzy screen? You’re not alone!
Mid-scan doubts are the worst—second-guessing yourself, freezing up, and thinking, “Wait... is that normal?” 🥶
It happens to the best of us. But here’s the thing: confidently knowing what normal looks like isn’t as far off as it feels.
With a bit of guidance and support, you can start feeling clear, confident, and in control every time you pick up the probe.

Picture this: you're mid ultrasound and things aren't quite going how you imagined.
We've all been there. That feeling of uneasiness or nervousness. Your heart beating a little faster... all because the organ you're looking for isn't where you expected it to be!
It's okay, just breathe. You've got this 👏
I can help you by looking back on my experiences with ultrasound panic and how I overcame the problem.
