Course Objectives
This module will cover clinical laboratory diagnostics techniques (i.e. haematology, cytology and urinalysis), as well as imaging diagnostic techniques (i.e. radiology and ultrasound). More specifically:a. Haematology, Cytology and Urinalysis Techniques & Concepts
This component will cover standard equipment and supplies (e.g. routine laboratory tests, automated analysers), sample types, and sample collection, storage, and preparation. Moreover, in the haematology subcomponent, the module will focus on blood cell parameters, and the evaluation of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes, and their associated pathologies (e.g. atypical cells, haemoparasites) on blood smears. Similarly, it will cover fundamentals of diagnostic testing for haemostasis. As part of the urinalysis subcomponent, this module will cover basic renal physiology, common cells, crystals and microorganisms, examination of the urine sample, and the of dipstick for urine chemistry. In the cytology subcomponent, this module will cover cell types and criteria of malignancy, as well as common infectious agents.
b. Imaging Techniques & Concepts
This component will cover the physics and principles of radiology, as well as the fundamentals of positioning of the patient for thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, skull, limbs, and spinal radiography. This will be coupled with radiographic interpretation of the different body systems and anatomical regions (dog, cat, and birds). It will also offer fundamentals on the use of contrast media in radiology, and fundamentals of ultrasonography.
