Pet Ultrasound in Rochester Hills, MI
Pet ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues inside your pet’s body. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound does not involve radiation, making it a safe option for evaluating various health concerns. Animal Medical Center of Troy offers pet ultrasound services in Rochester Hills, MI, to enhance our diagnostic capabilities and ensure your pet receives comprehensive care.
How Pet Ultrasound Works
During an ultrasound, a gel is applied to your pet’s skin to facilitate the transmission of sound waves. A probe, or transducer, is then moved over the area of interest, emitting sound waves that reflect off internal structures. These reflections are captured and translated into real-time images on a monitor. This process allows us to visualize organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, bladder, spleen, and intestines.
Benefits of Ultrasound in Veterinary Medicine

- Non-Invasive: The procedure is painless and requires no incisions, making it a gentle option for pets.
- Real-Time Results: Ultrasound offers immediate feedback, allowing for quick diagnosis and timely treatment.
