Open Courses State of the Art - Avanços em Radiologia e Cirurgia Reprodutiva em Aves Exóticas | Psitacídeos

1- Mastering the Technique of Digital Avian Radiography Participants will acquire the technical skills to produce high-quality digital radiographs through: - Correct and reproducible positioning - Appropriate adjustment of technical parameters - Minimisation of artefacts - Standardisation of projections This ability helps to reduce diagnostic errors and significantly enhance the clinical value of the radiographic examination. 2-Interpreting X-rays in a Systematic and In-Depth Manner Rather than simply `looking¿ at the images, the course teaches participants to analyse them critically. Trainees will learn to: - Apply a structured reading protocol - Identify subtle changes in the coelomic silhouette - Differentiate between gastrointestinal, hepatic and reproductive pathologies - Recognise patterns consistent with masses, ascites or organomegaly This skill is essential for improving diagnostic accuracy in avian medicine. 3-Using the Barium Series as a Strategic Tool Participants will develop the ability to: - Select appropriate cases for comparative study - Apply safe administration protocols - Interpret the different stages of gastrointestinal transit - Incorporate the findings into the treatment plan This ability transforms the barium series into a decisive tool in complex clinical situations. 4-Performing Laparoscopic Surgical Procedures Safely The course will enable you to acquire the technical skills to: - Plan and prepare appropriately for a coelomic surgery - Choose the best surgical approach - Handle delicate tissues with precision - Control bleeding in highly vascularised structures - Minimise intra- and post-operative complications This is a key skill for enhancing surgical safety in birds. 5-Performing Advanced Reproductive Procedures (Salpingectomy and Oophorectomy) Trainees will develop the ability to: - Correctly assess the surgical indication - Perform step-by-step removal of the oviduct - Apply safe oophorectomy techniques - Manage complex cases based on real clinical profiles This competence enables trainees to intervene with confidence in challenging reproductive pathologies.
