Pet Ultrasonography in Polk City, IA
At All Seasons Veterinary Care in Polk City, IA, our Pet Ultrasonography services provide a safe and effective way to examine your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues. Using advanced ultrasound technology, we can visualize conditions affecting the heart, abdomen, and other areas in real time. This non-invasive diagnostic tool helps us identify underlying health issues quickly, allowing for accurate assessments and tailored treatment plans to keep your furry companion healthy.
Ultrasound works by exposing the internal body to very high-frequency sound waves (hence the name “ultra-sound”), which bounce back to a receiver that interprets them into digital images — all in real time! The best part? It doesn’t expose your furry friends to any harmful ionizing radiation.
This incredible tool allows us to see soft-tissue structures like kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and vessels. While it’s not ideal for imaging hard structures like bones, it shines when used alongside lab results and other diagnostic imaging techniques such as radiographs.
With our ultrasound capabilities, we can support diagnostics related to pancreatitis, enlarged organs, kidney/bladder stones, and portosystemic shunt. Plus, it’s extremely helpful for guiding needles during internal biopsies or bladder collections.
