Precise and Non-Invasive Diagnostic Imaging
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a safe and non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to visualize internal organs. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound provides detailed, real-time images of the structure and composition of organs, enabling our veterinarians to evaluate your pet’s health with precision and clarity.
Ultrasound Expertise at Dorset Street Animal Hospital
At Dorset Street Animal Hospital, our veterinarians are trained to perform in-house ultrasound examinations for a variety of conditions. While our team offers skilled imaging and assessment, some complex cases may benefit from consultation with a board-certified radiologist or internal medicine specialist who has undergone advanced training in sonography.
In cases where additional expertise is required, we may recommend a specialist-performed ultrasound to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for your pet.
Prioritizing Your Pet’s Comfort
Ultrasound is a gentle and non-invasive diagnostic procedure that typically does not require anesthesia. Our team ensures your pet remains comfortable throughout the examination and will guide you through each step of the process.
Ultrasound is particularly effective in evaluating conditions such as:
- Bladder stones
- Tumors
- Intestinal foreign body obstructions
- Pregnancy
- Presence of free fluid in the abdominal cavity
