Dr. Eric Lindquist was born and raised in Southern California where he completed his undergraduate degree in Zoology at Humbolt State University. After graduation, he ventured to Europe to attend Veterinary School at the University of Bologna in Italy. Returning to the United States upon completion, he received clinical experience as a general practitioner in California and Connecticut (1996-2001). He became a high-volume mobile clinical sonography specialist in New Jersey in 2001.

Dr. Lindquist boarded ABVP (Canine & Feline) in 2003 and re-certified in 2015. Founding SonoPath.com in 2007, Lindquist currently leads a team of boarded specialists who provide Educational Teleconsultation™ Services. He also owns and manages three mobile ultrasound companies and lectures worldwide on clinical sonography.

Throughout his career, he’s interpreted more than 160,000 ultrasound cases between general practice, specialty mobile practice and telemedicine consultations. This heavy caseload, coupled with the ABVP medical specialty training, extensive in-house mentorship and external coursework has allowed him to develop an experience- and curiosity-based approach to veterinary clinical medicine that stimulates diagnostic efficiency. It’s a blend of European and North American research with practical based approaches to each and every case with a final focus on enhancing diagnostic efficiency.  

Since successful completion of her training as a Specialist in Radiology, Dr. Ondreka is the head of Diagnostic Imaging and Senior lecturer in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, University of Giessen. In addition to her work in academia, she is also a frequent speaker at national and international conferences and CPD courses.

Dr. Ondreka services general and specialty practices as a teleradiology consultant, and a number of FCI registered kennel Clubs as a consultant for hip and elbow dysplasia.

My research focuses on advanced cross-sectional imaging modalities, kinematics of the spine, achondroplasia, hydrocephalus, and Chiari-like malformation.

Dr. Ondreka is enthusiastic about small part ultrasonography namely its application in the musculoskeletal system, peripheral nerves, neck, head, eye and more. and believes small part ultrasonography proves to be an up-to-date modality.  Dr. Ondreka is always pleased to contribute to literature and studies on this important and interesting topic.

Certification for the SonoPath Diagnostic Efficiency Protocol (SDEP™) is awarded to 
sonographers (DVMs or Technicians) with the highest level of sonographic image capture skills (still and video) 
combined with the most diagnostically efficient manner of obtaining those images as defined
 by the SDEP™ protocol, as well as the ability to verbalize key points of the SDEP™ protocol.


Certification is offered in the SDEP™ Abdomen and SDEP™ ECHO; each is earned separately and has its own practical and written tests. This certification pertains strictly to scanning competence, not interpretation.

Scanning competence is defined as the ability to obtain the views necessary to provide for a 
diagnostic interpretation by a specialist, including the ability to recognize a pathology or 
abnormality and interrogate it appropriately. Learn more about our certification programs here. 

SonoPath can send an instructor to you! Learn in your environment, on your machine, with our on-site training.

General Protocol:

• 2 days per system, either abdomen or echo if no experience
• 1 day per system possible based on trainee experience
• If there are 3 trainees per system, we recommend 3 days of training to make sure every trainee has enough scanning time.

Sample Onsite Training Schedule:

Day 1:
- Get your doctors thru the progression solidly
- Learn main knobology
- Bootcamp @ least 1-2x
- Learning probes (time permitting)

Day 2:
- Work on speed and efficiency; work on any ‘bad habits’ that may have formed over the week
- Knobology dialed in
- Extra views/troubleshooting  
- Bootcamp ~ 3x- Discuss learning curve and all the benefits/additionals that your staff can take to make sure they continue to learn and grow with ultrasound
