Sound familiar?

Imaging doesn't have to feel like guessing.

You see the film. You don't see the finding.

Nobody gave you a search pattern, so you look for "the lesion" — and stop when you find one thing. Satisfaction of search is the most common error in imaging, and it is fixable.

CT and MRI reports read like another language.

Hounsfield units, T2 hyperintensity, STIR, windowing. Four sequences later you nod and send the patient to the specialist. That ends in Module 3.

Your ultrasound finds "something".

Hyperechoic compared to what? Layering preserved or lost? Shadow or enhancement? Vocabulary is the difference between a finding and a feeling.

The method

One roster. Every study.

The Academy teaches a single, repeatable reading discipline and applies it to all four modalities — so an abdominal radiograph, a spinal MRI and a liver ultrasound are read the same way.

R · Reject or accepttechnique, positioning, exposure

E · Edges firstbones, body wall, corners of the film

A · Anatomy in ordera fixed organ sequence, every time

D · Describe, then decideopacity · size · shape · margin · number · distribution

Drag the handle. Same cat, same spine — CT (bone window) vs MRI (T2W). You will learn why each modality sees what the other cannot.

What you master

Four modalities, taught on real images.

No stock illustrations. Every case in the Academy is a real, open-licence clinical image with an original teaching read.

Interactive, not a PDF

Tools you use in the lesson — and in the clinic.

Compare sliders

CT vs MRI, T2 vs STIR, normal vs dysplastic hips, ultrasound vs CT of the same gallbladder — drag and see what each modality adds.

Clinical calculators

VHS & VLAS, LA:Ao, fractional shortening, kidney and adrenal size vs weight, HU lookup, and a C.R.A.F.T. report builder that writes the paragraph for you.

Practice · new

Calipers on the film. Ten cases a day.

The Measurement Lab grades your vertebral heart score and Norberg angle from the points you place on real radiographs, then overlays the reference read. The Daily Drill is spaced repetition across all 82 cases — it learns which modality you miss and brings those cases back sooner.

Included · five reference sheets

The cheat-sheets you will actually pin to the wall.

Five printable A4 references, every number source-checked: the READ roster, cardiac cut-offs by breed and ACVIM stage, the HU ladder and MRI sequence grid, ultrasound organ numbers and Vet BLUE, and the C.R.A.F.T. report with the positioning checklist.

Curriculum

8 modules · 36 lessons · 108 gate questions.

A step-by-step path from image physics to multimodality case analysis and a graded exam. Every lesson ends with a three-question gate and an explanation for every answer.

Included · the reference shelf

115 imaging textbooks, one click away.

Every lesson links to the GlobalVetCo library: Thrall, Penninck & d'Anjou, the BSAVA imaging manuals, Mattoon & Nyland, Schwarz & Saunders CT/MRI, Boon echocardiography and 100+ more — instant PDF delivery from the GlobalVetCo store.

Case atlas

82 cases. Describe first, then reveal.

Radiographs, CT, MRI and ultrasound — dog and cat — each with a READ walkthrough, the diagnosis and the next step. Exam mode hides the answer until you commit.

Case films · new

Every case, narrated.

Each atlas case now has a 45–70 second film: the real image, slowly explored, with the READ walkthrough, diagnosis and next step spoken and captioned. Watch one on the bus; read the case at the workstation.

Why this instead of a $27 PDF bundle — or a $900 single-modality course

Frequently asked.

Who is this for?

Veterinarians, veterinary students, nurses/technicians and radiography students who want one clear framework for reading radiographs, CT, MRI and ultrasound in dogs and cats.

Is it a physical product? How do I get access?

No — it is a web-based academy. You pay on the GlobalVetCo store (PayPal or card); within minutes an access code is emailed to you. Enter it on the checkout page and every module unlocks on any device. Bundle books arrive as PDF links in the same email.

Are the images real?

Yes. Every clinical case is a real, openly licensed image (Wikimedia Commons CC or CC-BY figures from peer-reviewed veterinary journals), credited on the Credits page. The teaching text, frameworks and tools are original GlobalVet Academy material.

Does this provide certification or CE credit?

You receive a GlobalVet Academy certificate of completion after passing the case exam (≥ 80 %). This is an independent educational programme; it does not confer accreditation, licensure or authority to diagnose patients.

Can I study at my own pace?

Yes. Progress is saved in your browser; lessons average 10–16 minutes; the whole Academy is about 20 hours.

Refunds?

30 days, no questions asked.
