Digital Ultrasound Machine

Conventional radiography (X-ray) is invaluable when it comes to diagnosing disease in the bone structure of the horse. However, there are many instances where X-rays alone cannot diagnose a problem, or fully reveal the issues with a single lameness/disease. Soft tissue injury is very common in horses and requires a more specialized diagnostic tool to understand. Our ultrasound machine gives us the capability of looking at soft tissues structures such as tendons, stifle structures, joint spaces, and the abdomen and other organs. This machine can help us diagnose causes of colic, pneumonia, abscesses, and the list goes on. Having this technology brings another level of diagnostics to provide clients the best care.
