Ultrasound
Our doctors may recommend an ultrasound
for your pet to get a better evaluation of
what's happening inside. Ultrasound, as
the name suggests, uses high-frequency
how much the material being examined
changes the sound as it passes through.
Unlike radiology, which is great for looking
at bones and air-filled structures,
ultrasound is most useful in looking at "soft
tissue", which includes most of the internal
organs (liver, kidneys, etc).
One other major use of heart.
With echocardiography, we can
observe the motion of the
chambers and valves of the
heart, and determine whether
blood is moving normally may
recommend this test if they here
a heart murmur.
