Ultrasound scanning is a flexible and powerful diagnostic tool used to investigate many routine and complex medical and surgical conditions. This is a non-invasive, essentially painless process, where we usually scan the abdomen using a probe to see an image of the internal organs. From the ultrasound, we can then assess the shape, size and structure of each organ and detect any abnormalities. The ultrasound images can be captured, while the required measurements are made and then printed out. We also have the ability to obtain sample tissues of some of the organs via ultrasound guidance, in order to have the sample tested for irregularities. With this latest Doppler Ultrasound machine at Zia Vets Clinic, the use of our scanning services is not just limited to routine procedures such as pregnancy scanning, but can also be broadened to facilitate more advanced guided sampling and biopsy techniques.
