The rise of the scanner is a real revolution in our profession. It’s an opportunity for veterinarians to respond ever more effectively to the needs and evolution of veterinary medicine.
To make the most of it, it’s vital to understand the challenges of image acquisition and the procedures that can be carried out on a daily basis.
That’s why VEDIMin collaboration with FAS Imageriedecided to create this event.
The first conference dedicated entirely to veterinary scanners
This congress organized by VEDIM / FAS Imagerie will focus on the day-to-day needs of users.
On Friday March 28, whether you’re a veterinary surgeon or an X-ray manipulator, or an ASV in charge of the scanner, this program is for you.
A practical program where you can talk to our team of specialists.
Do you have to cut as thinly as possible? I scan as much as I can, just in case… Should I do a myeloscan or an arthoscan? Why are my images disappointing? How is a lymphangioscan performed?
These are just some of the questions we’ve decided to answer… Take a look at the program!
On the morning of Saturday 29th, the Club Vet Scanner FAS / CANON will take an in-depth look at how to use the Canon acquisition console, with practical tips on how to take your Canon scanner even further.
