Digital Imaging
We want to help your pet as quickly and efficiently as possible which is contingent on a proper diagnosis. At TruVet Specialty and Emergency Hospital we are able to diagnose with precision using sophisticated digital diagnostic tools. Our veterinarians will recommend an appropriate course of diagnostics for each patient’s needs.
Ultrasonography
Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of organs and structures in the body. This tool is very useful for evaluating the size and appearance of organs, as well as assessing the presence of masses or fluid without needing a patient to be under anesthesia. This tool can also be used to help to obtain guided biopsy samples.
Digital Radiography
During a radiographic procedure, an x-ray beam is based through the body which creates black and white picture of internal structures within the body. Often multiple images are taken at different angles for better diagnostic interpretation.
Computed Tomography (CT)
A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce images of the inside of the body. It shows detailed sliced images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, organs and blood vessels. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
Echocardiogram
Echocardiogram uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your pet’s heart, showing its size, structure, and function, helping diagnose heart problems like valve issues, heart failure, or congenital defects by revealing how well it pumps and if blood flows correctly. Typically lasting 30-60 minutes, an ultrasonographer places a transducer on your pet’s chest to generate real-time images, offering crucial insights such as
- Heart Function: Checks the heart’s pumping strength and movement.
- Structure: Shows the size and shape of chambers, walls, and blood vessels.
- Valves: Detects if valves are too narrow (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation).
- Blood Flow: Visualizes blood flow through the heart and vessels.
- Diagnoses: Helps identify heart failure, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects, and valve disease.
