Abdominal Ultrasound

Abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool for pets. It creates images of internal organs using high-frequency sound waves, helping to detect abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, stones, or inflammation. This safe and effective method is commonly used for diagnosis and monitoring of medical conditions, as well as guiding procedures like fine needle aspiration and cystocentesis.
