Ultrasonography Consults & Diagnostic Imaging
An ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging procedure that enables us to take an in-depth view of your pet’s organs for evaluation and diagnosis. It is a highly useful tool in evaluating heart conditions (referred to as an echocardiogram), detecting alterations in abdominal organs, and assisting in the recognition of cysts and tumors. With the ability to perform real-time monitoring, ultrasounds are also utilized for pregnancy diagnosis and development monitoring.
We have trained ultrasonographers with state-of-the-art equipment who regularly visit our practice to perform ultrasounds. Anesthesia or sedation is not usually necessary to perform an ultrasound on the heart or abdomen. With the ability to obtain real-time information, outcomes can often be determined immediately.
At Montclair Veterinary Associates, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including state-of-the-art imaging, to more quickly and accurately arrive at a diagnosis of a medical condition and thus develop a treatment protocol faster.
