Ultrasounds are one of the most well-known types of medical imaging for pets that pet clinics utilize. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and do not use ionizing radiation, so they can be used as often as necessary by veterinarians with no danger to your pet.
Ultrasounds help to diagnose tumors, cysts, and blockages in abdominal organs. This assists pet vets in deciding whether or not surgery is necessary for your dog or cat. Ultrasound-guided needles can be used to gather cells from such tumors, and lab results can give you a better idea of what’s going on in your pet’s body.
