What Is An Ultrasound?

Ultrasonography is a diagnostic imaging technique used to image an internal body structure or a developing fetus. An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize objects between layers of mass. The sound waves are broadcasted, and the timing and frequency shift of their echoes are analyzed to produce an image or map of the phenomena or objects under investigation. Not only does it help visualize various structures inside your pet’s body, but it is also a great way to obtain biopsy samples.

What Are Ultrasounds Used For?

An ultrasound can help veterinarians diagnose any underlying conditions your pet may have, and are usually the first step in determining the proper treatment plan that will lead your pet to recovery. It’s a vital tool used to examine the structure of your pet’s organs in order to discover and identify any blockages, tumors, or different problems your pet might be suffering from. Ultrasounds allow us to distinguish soft tissue masses from foreign bodies or fluids in an easier, more effective way. 

Reasons Why Your Pet May Need An Ultrasound

  • Required Examination Of Soft Tissues Such As Ligaments, Eyes, Tendons, and Thyroid Glands
  • Abnormal Urine and/or Blood Test Results
  • Detection Of Foreign Objects

Are Ultrasounds Dangerous?

Ultrasounds are completely and perfectly safe! The sound waves generated by ultrasound are safe for both cats and dogs. They are also completely painless. 

What Is An Echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram is a tool that enables us to visualize the structure of your pet's heart using ultrasound waves that produce a visual display, used for the diagnosis and monitoring of heart diseases. They are a noninvasive technique that we can use to make sure that pets with heart murmurs can get a complete diagnostic workup. Here at Baytown, we use them to gather as much information as we can about your pet and their condition, which is a critical step in helping us provide the best quality care your pet deserves.
