Diagnostic Imaging

One member of the 2F4P Diagnostic Team that is always kept very busy, is … our Ultrasound Machine.

Ultrasounds are especially useful in the veterinary world as:

• they are non-invasive
• seldom require anaesthesia
• can be easily repeated (for monitoring pregnancies, for example)
• allows internal organs to be reviewed with greater precision
• can greatly assist in surgical procedures if needed
• typically doesn’t distress pets

Ultrasounds can be used to detect or assess:

Pregnancies,
Foreign Bodies,
Heart function,
Some Tumours or
any changes to certain internal organs.
