What is Pet Ultrasound?
Pet Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the internal structures and organs of our beloved animal companions. It provides valuable information about their health and helps us detect any potential issues or abnormalities. With its many benefits, pet ultrasound plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and timely medical care for our furry friends.
Explanation and Benefits
Pet ultrasounds represent a non-invasive technique for getting a clear picture of your pet’s internal organs and structures. This potent tool can identify issues such as tumors, cysts, stones, inflammation, and infections.
It also proves beneficial in diagnosing pregnancy among pets. The use of ultrasound technology enhances the accuracy of diagnoses and ensures minimal discomfort for your pets during examinations.
With this modern technology, we’re able to deliver improved medical care to maintain their health and happiness.
Procedure and How it Works
At the heart of our ultrasound services, you’ll find a simple and non-invasive procedure. Our expert veterinarians begin by readying your pet for an ultrasound scan. They apply a special gel to the area they wish to examine, which improves contact between the transducer (the device that emits and receives sound waves) and your pet’s body.
You don’t have to fret over discomfort or pain as ultrasounds for pets are generally no more invasive than a routine physical check-up.
Next, the transducer releases high-frequency sound waves into your pet’s body where bones, blood vessels and organs each reflect them differently – all with unique signatures. These returning echoes get captured and converted into live images on screen.
This state-of-the-art technology allows us valuable insight without resorting to invasive surgeries or harmful radiation — making it an integral part of our animal hospital’s comprehensive wellness care service.
