Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to visualise the internal structures of animals. It employs high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs, tissues, and blood flow, aiding in the diagnosis of various medical conditions. This technology is crucial in veterinary medicine for examining the heart, liver, kidneys, and other organs, as well as for monitoring pregnancies. By providing detailed insights without the need for surgery, veterinary ultrasound enhances the ability to diagnose and treat animals accurately and efficiently.

The examination is pain-free; however, sometimes patients require mild sedation to ensure they remain relaxed during the procedure.

During the procedure, the patient's fur is clipped in the area to be examined. A gel is applied to the skin to enhance the examination and obtain higher-quality images.

At Elizavet, we utilise cutting-edge ultrasound technology equipped with four different probes tailored for specific organs. Our machine includes color Doppler and elastography functions, enhancing the accuracy of examinations. We have recently installed advanced software and high-resolution imaging screens to ensure the highest quality imaging. Our sonographers hold postgraduate qualifications in diagnostic imaging, ensuring expert interpretation of results

Color Doppler

Color Doppler ultrasound is a diagnostic technique used to visualise blood flow within vessels, providing valuable information on vascular conditions, heart function, and organ perfusion. It helps veterinarians to assess issues such as blood clots, abnormal blood flow, and cardiac abnormalities.

Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

A fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is performed to collect tissue samples, providing the veterinarian with detailed information about the examined tissue. This minimally invasive procedure is well tolerated by the patient
