Pet Ultrasound
When your pet needs a closer look at their internal health, pet ultrasound services from Allegheny Veterinary Associates in Pittsburgh, PA, provide a safe and effective diagnostic tool.
Pet Ultrasound at Allegheny Veterinary Associates in Pittsburgh, PA
Ultrasound services are a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and tissues. This method is particularly useful for examining the heart, liver, kidneys, and abdominal organs, allowing our veterinarians to detect abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, and fluid accumulations. Unlike X-rays, which provide images of bones, ultrasound focuses on soft tissues, making it a valuable tool for comprehensive internal diagnostics.
Our skilled team, including licensed ultrasound Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVTs), is dedicated to delivering accurate and detailed imaging to assist in diagnosing various conditions.
When is a Pet Ultrasound Needed?
