Today, veterinary ultrasound is an essential tool in the veterinary department.
It has a wide range of uses, from the smallest species to the largest. In small animals such as cats or dogs, its main function is to examine the abdomen. One of the main improvements is that it produces less radiation on the patient and consumes less energy.
Experts pointed out that no matter how advanced the technology is today, there are still certain limitations in the analysis, for example: sound waves cannot travel through the air, and the lungs cannot be analyzed.
In larger species, analysis of abdomens with large amounts of gas in the stomach may be limited.
In general, any study can be performed in all species, no matter their size, from birds to hippos, as long as the transducer is in contact with the patient’s skin.
Ultrasound allows for more precise diagnosis of animals by allowing samples such as tumors or other diseases to be taken in a more precise manner.
The tool is increasingly accessible to veterinarians, allowing them to more accurately diagnose disease or prevent future harmful disease in patients.
