Ultrasound

Ultrasound, also called sonography, uses sound waves to develop ultrasound images of internal organ conditions.

 

An instrument called a transducer emits high-frequency sound, inaudible to human ears, and then records the echoes as the sound waves bounce back to determine the size, shape, and consistency of soft tissues and organs.   

​

This information is relayed in real time to produce images on a computer screen. This is an invaluable diagnostic tool that helps in the detection of disease so that a plan for treatment can be formulated quickly.

 

Pets are shaved in the area to be examined, and clients can expect the procedure to take 35-40 minutes.​
