Ultrasound

How Our Nassau Veterinarians Properly Diagnose Your Pet

Ultrasound is an important part of veterinary medicine. It helps us diagnose and sometimes even treat "invisible" conditions by looking "inside" the patient in detail. Ultrasound, as the name implies, uses sound waves.

Properly diagnosing your pet’s condition is the first step to promoting his or her overall health and well-being. As Nassau veterinarians with considerable training and experience in ultrasound technology, as well as specialties such as geriatric care, cancer treatment, and more, we can find out what’s going on and offer our insight regarding treatment options. We believe in educating pet owners so they can make the right choices about their loved ones.

Ultrasound Services

With ultrasound, we can examine and measure internal organs or tumors, diagnose pregnancy, and take biopsies of major internal organs by using ultrasound as a guide. Thoracic ultrasounds give the doctor important information on the functioning of the heart. This is especially important for pets with suspected congenital heart problems or heart failure. Often, the major organs in the abdomen are given an ultrasound to obtain additional information that an x-ray alone can't provide. This procedure gives the doctor an active view of the organs. We commonly view the bladder, kidneys, spleen, liver, adrenal glands, stomach, and pancreas on an abdominal ultrasound.

Benefits of Ultrasound

Patients benefit greatly from these methods, as there is less recovery time. For example, a patient having exploratory surgery to search for an abdominal tumor may take days in the hospital to recover whereas patients being assessed with ultrasound would likely be home with their owners the same day.
