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. At Allegheny Veterinary Associates, our ultrasound services are strictly diagnostic and observational, allowing us to safely evaluate the stomach, bladder, spleen, kidneys, and liver.
Please note: Our ultrasound services are for non-invasive evaluation only; Dr. Nicki does not perform ultrasound-guided biopsies on these organs.
