Color Flow Doppler Ultrasound Now Available!
| |
Ultrasound technology is used throughout human
medicine as a diagnostic modality because it:
- Allows us to visualize internal organs withou
 t
the risk of radiation
- Allows us to see the internal structure of organs
- Allows us to watch the actual functioning of the organs in real
time.
With the aid or ultrasound, we can detect internal abnormalities much
sooner and with greater accuracy than ever before. In addition, we can
use the ultrasound image to help us obtain samples for analysis from the
internal organs, often times eliminating the need for more invasive
surgeries!
Our new ultrasound unit is equipped with a very sophisticated
"color-flow doppler" capability. This modality allows us to detect
abnormal blood flow within the chambers of the heart. During an
echocardiogram, we can determine which, if any valves are leaking and
how severe the leakage is. This data helps us generate a treatment plan
and determine the prognosis for your pet.
If you are worried about your pet having internal tumors, or heart
problems, ask our veterinarians if diagnostic ultrasound might benefit
your pet.
