Abdo U/S NAD. How first opinion vets can write better ultrasound reports
If you’ve ever typed “NAD,” “WNL,” or “nothing obvious seen” following an ultrasound scan because you weren’t quite sure what else to say—or worried someone might act on your findings when you weren’t fully confident—this session is for you.
Dr Camilla Edwards DVM CertAVP MRCVS shares a practical, case-based approach to ultrasound reporting that helps first-opinion vets describe what they see clearly, honestly, and without overreaching. You’ll walk through real abdominal pathology cases imaged on the ProPet V11 and learn how to use the SPEEDS™ method (Size, Shape, Position, Echogenicity and Echotexture, Edge, Dynamics, Distribution and Sampling) to bring structure to your notes—even when findings are subtle or uncertain.
You’ll leave with simple tools you can use straight away—plus free access to FOVU’s SPEEDS™ reporting guide and her independent review of the V11 to help deepen both your scanning and your documentation.
- Identify why vague phrases like “NAD,” “WNL,” or “nothing obvious seen” can reflect uncertainty—and how to move beyond them
- Discover a simple structure (SPEEDS™) to help you feel more confident and consistent in how you describe ultrasound findings
- See how real-life pathology cases, imaged on the ProPet V11, can be reported clearly—even when you're not 100% sure what you’re seeing
- Leave feeling more equipped to write honest, helpful reports that reflect your clinical judgment—without fear of getting it ‘wrong’
