Veterinary Ultrasound

Beginning in the early 1980's, ultrasound scanning has been used to diagnose many disease processes in small animals. It is now considered to be an essential service in all veterinary teaching hospitals and large referral centers and many general small animal practices. The reason for this is simple, ultrasound offers a non-invasive, non-painful method for the diagnosis and staging of many diseases.

Ultrasound is the best modality to evaluate fluid filled and soft tissue organs. Because ultrasound will not penetrate through air, ultrasound cannot be used to evaluate abnormalities if they are surrounded by gas.
