Ultrasound Services: Advanced Diagnostic Care for Pets
At our pet hospital, we utilize diagnostic ultrasound, a critical and powerful tool in both veterinary and human medicine. We're proud to integrate this state-of-the-art technology into our practice, offering high-level care to our patients.
How Ultrasonography Works
Ultrasonography employs ultrasound waves to produce images of your pet's internal structure. A small probe, placed gently against the pet’s skin, emits these waves. This process is entirely painless, non-invasive, and radiation-free. The ultrasound waves either pass through or bounce back from the internal structures, creating a detailed image of organs in real-time. This technology is especially effective for imaging abdominal organs like the liver, spleen, gallbladder, and kidneys. It's also invaluable in detecting pregnancies and diagnosing various stages of cancer.

Cardiology Applications
Ultrasound is also a vital tool in veterinary cardiology. It enables us to examine the heart as it functions, aiding in the detection of valve abnormalities, irregular blood flow, heart muscle contractions, and congenital heart defects.
