About us
Dominique Penninck graduated from the Veterinary school at the University of Liège (Belgium) in 1981. After a residency at University of Davis, California (1985-88), she joined the radiologist team at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Tufts University. She is diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiology, and the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging. She received her clinical PhD from the University of Liège in 1998. She has been invested in teaching ultrasonography to students, interns, residents, and practicing veterinarians, adopting and developing new methodologies to facilitate the learning of this modality. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her grown up kids, traveling, discovering the arts, taking photographs, and dancing!

Marc-André d’Anjou became veterinarian in 1996, graduating from the University of Montreal, before completing a residency program in diagnostic imaging at Tufts University leading to his board-certification from the American College of Veterinary Radiology in 2003. He was faculty at the University of Montreal for 10 years before founding Animages in 2016. He kept his teacher hat, lecturing to students and veterinarians, supervising interns and residents, and creating eLearning environments for small animal diagnostic imaging. Marc-André spends his free time traveling and chasing light and his kids with his cameras, and playing around with multimedia softwares. As opposed to Dominique, Marc-André is not a formidable dancer.

Hi, I would like to place an order to purchase the book and have access to the online content. Which option should I choose? I am not sure the 350 euros option is the one. Thanks.
Hi Laura and thanks for your interest! We don’t sale the book itself, only memberships for our online content. If you purchase the book, you’ll have access to a collection of videos that we provided to Wiley for free (*you’ll be able to access that section of videos using a password provided inside your book). If you wish to to access the entire library of videos (more than 200 videos including videos on anatomy that have voice-over description and 3D images), you could then subscribe to our 2-yr PREMIUM membership at 250$US (the initial price is 350$US but we offer a 100$US discount once you send us a photography of you and the book). You can visit our FAQs section for all details: https://smallanimalultrasonography.com/faqs/. For more questions, please swend us an email to smallanimalultrasonography@gmail.com. Have a superbe day!
Hi there, I just bought your book and visited the website for the first liver video- I don’t have sound- is there supposed to be sound with it? I don’t have the mute on during the video.
Hi Sharon! You’re correct. The videos offered with the Atlas (2nd edition) don’t have sound but animations and annotations. Videos with narration were created after we offered free videos to Wiley for the book and these are part of the Normal Anatomy membership package (see https://smallanimalultrasonography.com/membership-plans/). I hope you enjoy the book and its videos :). Thanks!
Hello….i found the possibility of registration to your usg web page and video education only today on facebook. Is it possible to make a registration to platinum/premium access with all extra offers also in this time? You mentioned the offer is valid till 31. January.
I am a vet from Slovakia, my main interest in veterinary medicine is diagnostic imaging.
Thank you for answer

Hi Marek! We’ve extended the code COVID19 (19%) until Feb 15. You can have an additional 100$ refund after purchase if you send a photo with you using the 2nd edition of the Atlas by email :-). Thanks for your interest!
Thank you……..paid…….:-) Letś take a photo 🙂
Hello!,
Since Adobe Flash Player was discontinued, I’ve not been able to watch any of the videos in this website (as soon as I hit “play”, the video screen goes black and stays that way). I’ve been wondering if both things could be related. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? Is there anything I could do in order to solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Laura.
Hello Laura,
I recommend that you try another browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox..). If that works, you should clear your cache completely in the problem browser.
Here’s a link to help you do that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache.
Marilyn
Oh thank you so much, I’ll try that out! Since I found out I could still watch the videos on my phone, I got more relaxed haha
Hello Marilyn,
My apologies, I’ve forgotten to leave a feedback, but it worked!
Thank you so much, have a wonderful week.
Thanks for the update Laura. I’m glad it worked! Take care.
