Know what you’re looking at every time you scan
The foundational veterinary ultrasound guide for small animal vets
Most vets learn ultrasound the hard way. A brief introduction at university, a weekend course if they’re lucky and then years of scanning alone, second-guessing findings and working around the gaps in their training.
Guide 1 exists because that’s not good enough. It’s a veterinary ultrasound guide for beginners and the foundation every experienced vet needs: 96 pages of practical, image-rich guidance covering normal abdominal findings, organ by organ and step by step.

Sound familiar?
You’re mid-consult. Probe in hand. The image is up and you’re scanning, but a voice is asking if what you’re seeing is normal or if you’re missing something.
Most vets know that feeling. What they don’t always realise is what it costs.
It costs time. Every scan takes longer when you're second-guessing.
It costs confidence. The uncertainty compounds with every case you're unsure about.
And occasionally, it costs a diagnosis that should have been made.
But that’s not on you. It’s on a system that taught you the theory and left the practical side to chance. Guide 1 gives you what vet school didn’t.
By the end of Guide 1, you’ll be able to:
Perform a systematic, repeatable abdominal ultrasound examination from start to finish, covering every major organ
Identify normal appearances of the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract in dogs and cats
Recognise normal variants (the findings that look unusual but aren't), so you don’t spend time analysing non-issues
Position your probe correctly for each organ, know exactly what you should be seeing and move on
Measure key structures accurately and know immediately what falls within normal range and what warrants further investigation
Perform ultrasound-guided cystocentesis using the included bonus guide with troubleshooting tips
Approach every scan with a consistent vet ultrasound protocol so you cover the same ground every time

What changes after Guide 1
You have a baseline.
You know exactly what the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract should look like on screen. When something looks different, you’ll notice it.
You have a protocol.
A consistent, repeatable vet ultrasound protocol so you cover the same ground in the same order every time. You won’t finish another scan wondering if you missed an organ. And you won’t scan differently depending on how busy the day is.
You have a reference.
The guide lives on your device, by your machine, open mid-scan whenever you need it. You can return to it whenever a finding makes you pause.
You have confidence.
Because you know what you’re looking at. You’ll confidently present findings to clients and discuss cases with colleagues. And at the end of the day, you can leave work at work.

What is the difference between Guide 1 and Guide 2?
Guide 1 covers normal abdominal ultrasound findings. It’s the foundation you need so you can confidently interpret images.
Guide 2 covers abnormal findings and takes you into interpretation and clinical decision-making across the key organs: gastrointestinal wall layering, adrenal glands, pancreas, splenic masses and more. They are designed to work together.
I have been scanning for years. Is Guide 1 still relevant for me?
Yes, and this is probably the question we get most often. The vets who find Guide 1 most useful are often the experienced ones. Most come away having confirmed what they know in some areas and filled gaps they hadn’t realised were there in others.
I am based outside Australia. Will this guide work for me?
Yes. Guide 1 is used by vets in 97 countries. The anatomy does not change across borders, and the guide covers both canine and feline normal findings.
Can I share the guide with my colleagues or clinic?
The guide is licensed for individual use. If your clinic wants access for multiple team members, get in touch.
Is this guide suitable for vet students and vet nurses?
Absolutely. Guide 1 is used across the full spectrum of veterinary roles. If you are involved in ultrasound in any capacity or want to understand what you are looking at, this guide is relevant.
