Ultrasound Imaging

Sanford Veterinary Clinic Geraldton is equipped with the lastest Ultrasound Imaging equipment. Ultrasound allows us to scan your pet's body, especially soft tissue structures to diagnose disease.

Ultrasound is used for imaging organs such as the kidneys, bladder, spleen, tendons, adrenal glands , stomach and bowel. It can also be used to image the heart. Ultrasound can also be used to diagnose pregnacy in pets and can be a very handy diagnostic tool.

One of the great advantages of Ultrasound is that it can often be used without having to anaesthetise or sedate your pet making it less intrusive. An ultrasound image is not like a picture and skill is needed to interpret the image. In some cases referral to an ultrasound specialist is required to confirm a diagnosis.
