Ultrasound

Ultrasound

Similar to an X-ray but often more accurate, ultrasound provides real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. Used primarily for abdominal or cardiac illnesses, ultrasounds allow your veterinarian to look inside your pet and perform organ biopsies that would otherwise require surgery. 

Ultrasound is also used to diagnose pregnancy in pets and the viability of the fetus, and it is helpful for avoiding contamination when performing cystocentesis (collection of urine samples).

Aqueduct Animal Hospital is proud to work with Dr. Christopher Ryan as our veterinary radiologist!
