Veterinary Clinic in Davie Announces
New Ultrasound Diagnostic Capability
DPC
Veterinary Hospital in Davie is happy to announce that we now have the ability
to provide your pet with ultrasound diagnostic exams right here in the clinic.
In the past we have had to refer cases to another hospital for the scans or
wait for an opening in the schedule of an on call technician. However, DPC has invested in
the latest veterinary ultrasound technology and can now conduct the exams
in-house without delay. As always, the scans are read by a veterinary
radiologist.
The
addition of the new ultrasound means that the diagnostic process will be
significantly accelerated and that our
veterinarian will have the information s/he needs to treat your pet much
faster. We've always been committed to providing the finest in veterinary care
and the addition of the ultrasound technology is another example of that
commitment.
Taking a Look Inside Your Four Legged Friend
If you
are wondering what the difference is between ultrasound and sonogram is the
answer is "nothing." Ultrasound is the non-invasive, painless
application of a cyclic sound pressure. A sonogram is the process that records
the results of the ultrasound and creates a "picture." A common
application in humans is to do an ultrasound scan of a mother-to-be to get a
picture (sonogram) of the fetus to determine gender.
For the
most part, the same benefits that ultrasound scans provide humans apply to
animals as well. It's an easy, painless, low stress method to scan internal
organs to assist in diagnosis.
An
ultrasound scan can assist in detecting a problem and then again to see if the
problem has been completely corrected after treatment.
The
ultrasound is an excellent diagnostic
tool and we are delighted that we can now offer scans to our Davie area pet
owners in a timely fashion. Read
