Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a useful tool in veterinary medicine to aid in disease diagnosis.  Ultrasound allows us to evaluate the size, texture, and shape of internal organs  With ultrasound, sound waves are projected by a transducer into the patient and an image is created on the display screen.

Doctors can obtain biopsies of organs such as the liver and spleen, guided by the ultrasound image.  Another useful application of veterinary ultrasound is pregnancy diagnosis.
