Peripatetic veterinary ultrasonographer Camilla Edwards DVM CertAVP MRCVS, founder of First Opinion Veterinary Ultrasound (FOVU), has launched a guided ultrasound reporting tool she developed to help first opinion vets who find ultrasound report-writing a daunting task.

Camilla, who was shortlisted as a finalist for Innovator of the Year at the 2025 Digital Women Awards, says her mission has always been to give first-opinion vets the tools and confidence to get the most from ultrasound in everyday practice – and the new tool is a big step forward in that vision.

The tool:

• gives prompts to ensure a thorough scan (with measurement fields that automatically compare kidney size, for example, against species- and weight-specific norms — no need to look anything up.
• links directly to quick refresher videos on scanning technique for each organ section.
• Offers a ready-made “normal” summary when a structure looks fine, unlocking a step-by-step framework if something looks abnormal or uncertain.
• Expands questions dynamically (e.g. asking about lesion distribution) so nothing important is overlooked.
• Builds a clear, structured summary of findings organ by organ, flagging abnormalities, and automatically generating a conclusion with likely differentials and suggested next steps.

Camilla says the final report is fully editable, but much of the “heavy lifting” is done — saving time, reducing second-guessing, and producing reports that are more useful for colleagues, clients, and patient care.
