Examining soft tissues for health conditions and pregnancy through
Pet Ultrasound.
Getting a full picture of pet ultrasound.
Pet ultrasound, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. A small handheld device called a transducer is placed on your pet’s skin, emitting sound waves that bounce off internal structures and return to the transducer. These returning sound waves are converted into real-time images displayed on a monitor. Ultrasound is a noninvasive and painless procedure that does not involve radiation, making it a safe option for diagnostic imaging.
