Ultrasound scan in dogs
4 min read
An ultrasound scan is a very safe and useful way to look at some of the organs and structures inside your dog's body. Unlike many other tests, it’s possible to see movement as it happens. Images are focused in a small section, which has advantages and disadvantages.
Ultrasound works a bit like echolocation in bats and dolphins. A very sensitive piece of equipment (a probe) produces a sound that we can’t hear and then picks up what sounds return. By doing this thousands of times per second, a computer can turn the information into a virtual image.
