Technological advances have favored the emergence of new diagnostic imaging techniques that are of great use to veterinarians” 

Every day, veterinarians face numerous challenges in their practice that must be met with the utmost rigor and, to this end, they must be familiar with the latest practices in their field. In this case, the aim is to provide high-level training in veterinary radiology, focusing on the abdominal area, as well as on other types of diagnostic procedures that can be of great use in the treatment of small animals.  

It must be taken into account that, in veterinary medicine, digestive conditions are the main reason for consultation and most of the time, their causes are easy to diagnose and treat by means of anamnesis and simple tests. The problems arise when the underlying conditons are less common, the patient is not used to working with certain tests or the treatments that should work, do not work. Therefore, this program aims to focus on the diagnostic imaging of these types of conditions.  

In addition, veterinarians will learn the radiographic anatomy of the abdomen, as well as how to look for alterations in the number, size, shape, margins, density and location of the different organs, in order to be able to make differential diagnoses.  

On the other hand, and taking into account that more and more families are deciding to keep exotic animals as pets in their homes, we have also developed a specific section dedicated to them, since the role of conventional radiology in medicine for birds, small mammals and reptiles is becoming increasingly important because it has been established as a fundamental diagnostic test in veterinary medicine. 
In short, it is a program based on scientific evidence and daily practice, with all the nuances that each professional can contribute, so that the student can keep it in mind and compare it with the bibliography enriched by the critical evaluation that every professional must have. 

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 update 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 will work to maintain motivation and to create a passion for learning; it encourages thinking and the development of critical thinking.
