Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound imaging involves using sound waves to create an image on a computer monitor. When Dr. Blotner passes the wand over an injured area of your pet, we are able to find otherwise hidden problems, like when your pet accidentally eats something that isn’t food, has a tumor or has problems with an internal organ, like the stomach, spleen, liver and pancreas. 

Ultrasound imaging is completely painless and does not have any side-effects. Veterinary diagnostic ultrasonography is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that provides real-time visualization of internal organs, soft tissues, and blood flow. Dr. Blotner's expertise allows for highly detailed evaluations that support accurate diagnoses, guide treatment planning, and monitor ongoing medical conditions with precision and care.

Benefits of Diagnostic Ultrasonography:

• Provides real-time images for immediate assessment of internal structures

• Allows detailed evaluation of organs such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, lungs, heart, & gastrointestinal tract

• Helps detect abnormalities that may not be visible on standard X-rays

• Aids in early diagnosis of disease, improving treatment outcomes

• Non-invasive and typically well-tolerated by patients
