Sound Technology Ultrasound Training

Dr. Tony Fernandez spent the day at Northeast Veterinary Hospital instructing Dr. Carrie Cummings and me in abdominal ultrasound and echocardiology. It was a very rare opportunity to learn in our own personal space with our own ultrasound machine, the GE LogiQ Book.

We use ultrasound examination to look inside organs while x-rays show us their shape & size. Some diseases are diagnosed only by ultrasound; however, most diagnosis are based on a combination of physical exams, laboratory tests, ultrasound, and radiology.

This is our second ultrasound machine, and it is impressive. We purchased it in July 2003, and Kevin our Sound Technology representative keeps kidding about updating it soon. Now, medical equipment has to last longer that two years.
