Sonography

We offer sonographic examinations, and interventional procedures (FNA, biopsies, chemoembolizations). We have two ultrasound units: an Acuson Sequoia and a Logic7 from GE. Both machines are equipped with a wide range of specialized transducers to allow imaging of patients ranging in size from a ferret to a Great Dane.

The most common applications are:

  • Abdominal Sonography: Visualization of the internal architecture of each abdominal structure provides information on parenchymal lesions that are not detected on radiographs (x-rays).
  • Thoracic sonography: Mediastinal, pleural or peripheral pulmonary masses can be imaged and biopsied for definitive diagnosis.
  • Neck sonography: Any masses/growths, thyroid or parathyroid nodules within the cervical region can be evaluated and sampled for further diagnosis.
  • Musculo-skeletal sonography: Although any soft tissue mass can be evaluated, the most common application is the shoulder for bicipital tendonitis.
