Real-Time Ultrasound Imagine For Accurate Veterinary Diagnostics
Ultrasound imaging is a veterinary diagnostic tool that uses high frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of your pet’s internal systems. Painless and non-invasive, it offers a high degree of clarity when examining your critter companion’s organ, muscle, and bone functions. Often used in conjunction with digital X-rays, ultrasound technology aids our veterinarians in diagnosing and treating your feline or canine family member.
Abdominal Ultrasound
Abdominal ultrasound simplifies the diagnoses of internal disease by providing veterinarians with a clear view inside the patient’s stomach, liver, kidneys, and other internal organs. The real-time capabilities of ultrasound technology allow our veterinarians to diagnose and assess a variety of veterinary conditions including:
- Liver disease
- Kidney disease
- Urinary bladder disease or kidney stones
- Pregnancy
- Enlarged lymph nodes and cancer
- Abdominal masses, fluid, and foreign material
- Pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease
Cardiac Ultrasound
Cardiac ultrasound, also known as echocardiogram or ECHO, can be especially useful when detecting heart problems. Abnormalities in the motion of the heart valves, blood flow through the heart, chamber size, and contractions of the heart muscle can be assessed for abnormalities with a high degree of accuracy. Assessing the heart as it beats is crucial for treating and diagnosing specific heart diseases.
Cardiac ultrasound is used to diagnose and identify:
- Cardiac birth defects
- Diseases of the heart valves
- Heart muscle diseases (cardiomyopathy)
- Fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion)
- Cardiac tumors
- Certain types of heartworm infections
