This course in Thoracic Radiology will allow veterinarians to obtain better qualifications providing them with a higher level of skills with which to improve the health of animals"

Improvements in diagnostic imaging techniques in the field of veterinary medicine make it necessary for teaching centers to propose new high level training courses, with fully up to date information which include the latest developments in this field. TECH always wants to be at the forefront in terms of training proposals and, therefore, this time we present this postgraduate diploma in Thoracic Radiology in Small Animals A program designed by a team specialized in Veterinary Radiology, which aims to provide the keys to success in your practice. 

Specifically, this postgraduate diploma covers ionizing radiation for diagnostic purposes to radiodiagnosis of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and other intrathoracic structures. As for cardiac radiology, it is necessary to take into account that it is very present in daily clinical practices and it is a challenge when it comes to interpreting it. Therefore, this program deals with the identification of cardiac anatomy in radiological projections, an essential part of cardiac and vascular diagnosis.  

In addition, it is necessary to work in the field of Thoracic Radiology with the highest technical quality, because poor patient positioning or poor development technique can greatly affect the interpretation of the images. TECH has set out to teach all the key details that will enable professional growth in this field. 

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 all in mind and compare it with the bibliography and feel 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. Additionally, at TECH we have a social commitment: to help highly qualified professionals to update and to develop their personal, social and professional skills throughout the course of their studies. And, to do so, it will not only take you through the theoretical knowledge offered, but will show you another more organic, simpler and more efficient way of learning and studying. It works to maintain motivation and to create passion for learning; it encourages thinking and the development of critical thinking.
