Specialize in Orthopedic and Neurological Radiological Diagnosis and take advantage of the latest tools on offer to this field"

Diagnostic imaging tests are indispensable in the veterinary practice, becoming a common tool in the professional practice, as they allow them to make early diagnoses that can potentially save the lives of animals with certain conditions. Therefore, on this occasion, TECH offers an academic program prepared by a team of experts in the field that focuses on Orthopedic and Neurological Radiological Diagnosis in Small Animals .  

In general, definitive diagnoses of central nervous system diseases require advanced imaging tests (CT and MRI), cerebrospinal fluid analysis and histopathological study (among others). However, in the case of some conditions it is possible to make an approximation to the diagnosis and, sometimes, a definitive diagnosis in the clinic through the use of simple radiography and myelography, as a complement to the rest of the diagnostic tests. Therefore, its study is of great value to any veterinarians looking to improve their level of training.  

This program focuses on the field of orthopedics and traumatology, taking into account that the bone is a complex tissue and requires specialized knowledge to understand the fundamental functions. However, through the radiological method, specialized knowledge of the different conditions that may affect it can be developed. 

In short, it is a program based on scientific evidence and daily practice, with all the nuances that each professional can contribute, enriched by the critical assessment that every professional must keep in mind. 

Throughout this course, the student will learn about all the current approaches to the different challenges posed by their profession. A high-level step that will become a process of improvement, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal level. In addition, TECH assumes a social commitment: to help the updating of highly qualified professionals and to develop their personal, social and labor skills during the development of the same. And, to do so, it will not only take you through the theoretical knowledge offered, but will show you another way of studying and learning which is more organic, simpler and more efficient. It works to maintain motivation and to create a passion for learning; it encourages thinking and the development of critical thinking.
