Ultrasound Diagnostics

Schedule Appointment

We enhance our diagnostic capabilities with ultrasound technology, a powerful tool that complements our digital radiology services. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of the internal structures of your pet’s body, offering a dynamic view that is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Benefits of Ultrasound

Non-Invasive and Safe

Ultrasound is a completely non-invasive technique that uses sound waves, making it safe for all pets, including those that are pregnant or very young.

Real-Time Imaging

It provides real-time images, allowing for immediate assessment and diagnosis of internal organs in motion, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Painless Procedure

This method is painless and typically does not require sedation, making it less stressful for pets and their owners.

Diagnostic Applications

Comprehensive Internal Examination

Ultrasound can assess abdominal organs and other soft tissues. It is invaluable for diagnosing conditions not visible through X-rays.

Fluid and Sample Collection

Guided by ultrasound, we can safely collect samples from organs or detect and aspirate abnormal fluid accumulation without invasive surgery.

Pregnancy Monitoring

Ultrasound is the preferred method for monitoring pregnant pets, providing clear images of the developing fetuses. We recommend a radiograph to provide the number of fetuses.

Importance of Ultrasound in Veterinary Care

  • Critical for Complex Diagnoses: Ultrasound is crucial for diagnosing complex cases where X-rays might not provide sufficient detail. It helps in diagnosing diseases of the liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, and other internal organs.
  • Monitoring and Follow-up: For chronic conditions or treatments, ultrasound is an excellent tool for monitoring the effectiveness of interventions and adjusting treatment plans as needed.
