Pablo Gómez Ochoa

He graduated from the University of Zaragoza in 2000, and completed his PhD at the same institution in 2004. He obtained a national and an international award for his PhD research, and has published over 20 scientific articles in international journals. He has been a speaker at over 50 CE courses, and national and international conferences.

He has done external rotations on ultrasonography in human hospitals, and in the Animal Health Trust. In 2006, he was a Visiting Professor at The Ohio State University and Kansas State University Colleges of Veterinary Medicine. In 2010 he was a Visiting Professor at the Universita di Sassari in Italy. In his field, Dr Gómez Ochoa developed a technique utilising contrast material to identify portosystemic shunts, and adapted the use of semiquantitative Doppler studies to evaluate intraabdominal lymphadenopathy.

He is currently Professor, part-time, at the University of Zaragoza, and is researching novel contrast agents and additional application of Doppler in various clinical conditions. In 2012 he co-founded Vetoclock.com with Guillermo Couto.
