Pet Ultrasound & Diagnostic Imaging In Surrey

Ultrasound imaging is a very useful, non-invasive procedure.

Ultrasound allows the veterinarian to:

• Assess organ function in real-time
• Evaluate blood flow
• View tissue architecture in detail
• Measure an abnormality’s size, thickness, and location
• Monitor suspicious findings
• Determine surgical versus non-surgical patients
• Perform rapid triage assessment in an emergency
• Detect time-sensitive diseases (e.g., cancer and kidney disease) sooner

Seeing is diagnosing—common uses for veterinary ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging complements the physical examination and lab work. When one or both of these diagnostic options suggest an abnormality or are inconclusive, your veterinarian may recommend an ultrasound.

• Abnormal physical examination — If your veterinarian palpates a mass, painful area, abnormal fluid, or tissue thickening in your pet’s abdominal cavity, ultrasound can provide specific visual information regarding the location, size, and shape of the problem. Your veterinarian may recommend biopsy, surgery, continued monitoring, or other treatment, based on their findings. Common ultrasound-based diagnoses include:
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Abdominal mass
  • Stomach ulceration
  • Kidney or liver disease
• Abnormal lab work — Blood work or urinalysis findings may reveal reduced organ function, suggesting organ damage or compromise. Ultrasound can pinpoint structural damage such as liver cirrhosis, loss of renal tubules in the kidney, or a distended gallbladder. Lab work and ultrasound work in concert to diagnose:
  • Liver and kidney disease
  • Spleen or adrenal gland tumors
  • Lymphoma
  • Congenital abnormalities
  • Urinary crystals or bladder stones
  • Pancreatitis or pancreatic insufficiency
• Trauma — In an emergency, if an internal injury is suspected, veterinarians can quickly scan a pet’s abdomen to look for bleeding. This technique is a focused assessment for trauma (FAST), and takes only two minutes. A cardiac FAST is performed for suspected chest trauma to look for fluid around the heart. Ultrasound may precede the physical examination in these emergencies:
  • Hit by a car
  • Dog attack
  • Fall from a height
  • Bloat (i.e., gastric dilation volvulus)
  • Impalement
• Vomiting or diarrhea — Gastrointestinal signs can indicate a wide range of conditions. An ultrasound is helpful when blood work is inconclusive, or the veterinarian wishes to view the gastrointestinal tract in detail. Gastric or intestinal thickening can be measured on the screen, highlighting chronic or acute inflammation areas, or detecting obstructions along the intestinal tract. Common conditions include:
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Food sensitivity or allergy
  • Gastrointestinal obstruction (i.e., foreign body)
  • Pancreatitis
• Inconclusive exam and lab work — An ultrasound is the next logical step toward diagnosing pets who show no clear cause for their clinical signs. Ultrasound can reveal an otherwise elusive diagnosis, eliminate guesswork, reduce veterinary bills, and shorten pet discomfort.
• Senior pet screening — Annual abdominal ultrasound screening is recommended for healthy senior pets. By identifying common age-related diseases, such as kidney and liver insufficiency, we can intervene early and improve and extend quality of life.
