Ultrasound

---

Ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic imaging tool that we can use to assess many conditions in our pets.  At Vanguard Veterinary Hospital, PLLC., we utilize our ultrasound to view the intra-abdominal structures, to perform echocardiography and to look for muscular and tendon injuries.  We are able to perform ultrasound guided aspirate and biopsies, increasing the likelihood that we will obtain an accurate sample with less risks.

Echocardiography is an ultrasound of the heart.  It is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of heart disease.  The ultrasound images are often reviewed by a specialist through the technology of telemedicine.
