Ultrasound imaging may also be called sonography or ultrasound scanning. Through this form of radiology, images from inside your pet’s body are obtained through the use of high-frequency sound waves.
These reflected soundwave echos are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image.
Many of your pet’s internal organs including the heart, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys and bladder are examined by the use of ultrasound.
This procedure is very helpful to our veterinarians because of its ability to show movement of internal tissues and organs and enables them to see blood flow and heart valve functions. This can help to diagnose a variety of heart conditions, including damage after a heart attack.
Other procedures performed through ultrasound include confirmation of pregnancy, ultrasound guided biopsy, tumor diagnosis, bladder stones and many more.
