What is an Ultrasound?
Ultrasound, also known as ultrasonography, is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the internal structures of the body. These sound waves bounce off tissues and organs, producing detailed images on a screen, and allowing veterinarians to visualise internal structures in great detail.
What do we use it for?
In veterinary medicine, ultrasound is a versatile tool used for various purposes in pets, including:
Pregnancy Diagnosis: Ultrasound is commonly used to confirm pregnancies and monitor the development of fetuses in pregnant pets.
Assessing Abdominal Organs: Ultrasound helps evaluate the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, and other abdominal organs for signs of disease or abnormalities.
Detecting Tumors and Cysts: Ultrasound aids in identifying and characterizing masses and cysts in different parts of the body.
Evaluating Cardiac Health: An echocardiogram, a specialized form of ultrasound, provides detailed images of the heart's structures and function, helping diagnose and manage heart conditions.
Guidance for Biopsies: Ultrasound-guided biopsies enable veterinarians to precisely target and collect tissue samples for further evaluation.
What is an Echocardiogram?
An echocardiogram, also known as cardiac ultrasound or heart ultrasound, is a specialized form of ultrasound that focuses on evaluating the heart's structures and function. It provides detailed images of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood flow, allowing veterinarians to diagnose heart conditions and monitor the heart's health.
Understanding the need for Sedation or Anesthesia
Ultrasound scanning requires the pet to remain still to obtain clear and accurate images. Some pets may be anxious or uncomfortable during the procedure, leading to movement and potentially compromising the quality of the images. Sedation or anesthesia helps keep the pet calm and immobile, ensuring the safety of the pet and the effectiveness of the ultrasound examination.
