What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasonography, commonly known as ultrasound or sonography, utilizes sound waves to create detailed images of your pet’s internal organs. This procedure is invaluable in evaluating the heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, and bladder. It also helps detect the presence of fluid, cysts, tumors, or abscesses and is often used to confirm or monitor pregnancy.

Benefits of Ultrasound Imaging

• Noninvasive and Pain-Free: Ultrasound does not involve any radiation and is a completely noninvasive procedure.
• Detailed Imaging: Provides clear images of internal structures, helping in accurate diagnosis.
• No Known Side Effects: Safe for all pets without the need for sedation or anesthesia in most cases.

How Ultrasound Works

During an ultrasound, our skilled ultrasonographer will apply a special gel to the area being examined. This gel helps the transducer, a small handheld device, glide smoothly over the skin and improves the quality of the images. The transducer emits ultrasonic sound waves that penetrate the body and bounce back, creating echoes based on the density and composition of the tissues and fluids.

These echoes are converted into real-time images displayed on a monitor, allowing our veterinarians to assess the health of your pet’s internal organs accurately. The procedure typically requires the area to be shaved for optimal image quality.

Combining Ultrasound with Other Diagnostic Methods

We often use ultrasound in conjunction with radiography (X-rays) and other diagnostic tools to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your pet’s health. This multimodal approach ensures we can make the most accurate diagnoses and develop the best treatment plans for your furry friends.

Expertise in Ultrasound Interpretation

Interpreting ultrasound images requires significant expertise. Our experienced veterinarians are highly skilled in analyzing these images, ensuring precise diagnoses and effective treatment plans for your pet.
