Advanced Ultrasound Diagnostics

At Forest Crossing Animal Hospital, we offer state-of-the-art ultrasound services to provide clear, real-time insight into your pet’s internal health—without using radiation. Ultrasound enhances our diagnostic accuracy by allowing us to examine organs, tissues, and even the heart in a non-invasive, painless way.

Why Ultrasound Is Essential for Your Pet’s Health

  • Radiation-Free, Real-Time Imaging
    Our ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create live images of organs such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, stomach, and gallbladder, enhancing accuracy in diagnosing soft tissue conditions.

  • Pairing with Other Diagnostics
    Combined with tools like X-rays, ultrasound helps us uncover a wider range of issues—such as obstructions, organ enlargement, or skeletal concerns.

  • Pregnancy Monitoring 
    This imaging technique allows veterinarians to visualize the puppies or kittens, check their heartbeats, and assess overall health and growth throughout the pregnancy, providing peace of mind and important information for proper care.

  • Echocardiograms
    An echocardiogram is a specialized ultrasound of the heart that helps veterinarians evaluate heart structure and function. It provides detailed images to detect conditions like murmurs, valve issues, or heart disease, guiding accurate diagnosis and treatment for your pet’s cardiac health.

Our Ultrasound Services Include:

  • Abdominal Ultrasound — Evaluate internal organs and detect disease, blockages, or tissue abnormalities.

  • Echocardiograms — Detailed imaging of heart valves, blood flow, chamber sizes, and contractions.

  • Integrated Diagnostic Insights — Results are combined with radiography or lab tests for comprehensive, accurate treatment plans.

  • Professional, Compassionate Care — The ultrasound is painless and non-invasive; mild sedation may be used to ensure your pet remains still and comfortable throughout the process.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Comfort-Oriented Prep
    We’ll gently position your pet for imaging and use sedation only when necessary for safety and clarity.

  • Image Capture & Analysis
    Live ultrasound images are captured in real time, allowing us to review findings immediately with precision.

  • Board-Certified Review
    Ultrasound studies are sent to board-certified radiologists for expert interpretation, ensuring the most accurate results.
  • Personalized Treatment Guidance
    We interpret the images and guide you through the findings—whether it means monitoring, medical treatment, or surgical planning.
