Ultrasonography is a versatile imaging modality for soft tissue structures. The practice has five ultrasound scanners in total. Two large scanners are situated permanently in the hospital, one in each of the small and large animal departments. An additional three scanners are transportable and can be used on visits out of the hospital.
Ultrasonography is widely used in orthopaedic cases for the assessment of tendons and ligaments and the investigation of wounds. It is also extensively used in stud medicine to image the mares’ ovaries and uterus.
Scanning of the thorax and abdomen is also performed. In small animals pregnancy diagnosis can be performed as well as visualisation of most abdominal and thoracic structures.
A colour flow doppler facility is used to assess cardiac function.
