Ultrasound
At Quarry Hills Animal Hospital, we utilize ultrasound to view the intra-abdominal structures, to perform echocardiography and to detect problems in the liver, heart, kidney or the abdomen. They may also be useful in helping the surgeon when carrying out some types of biopsies and to perform ultrasound guided aspirate of the bladder, 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. For complete ultrasounds the doctor takes multiple images of the different organs. Sometimes up to 60 different images are recorded. The ultrasound is performed and reviewed by our board-certified cardiac specialist Josh Gidlewski DVM.
