Large Animals

The use of ultrasound in large animals, mainly cows and horses, started with pregnancy detection. Through the years the advantages of utilizing ultrasound as a standard practice method for reproductive evaluations has become very well known to veterinarians. Nowadays, other uses of ultrasound are becoming just as routine; such as: tendon evaluations and treatment analysis, chest studies for pleural effusions and abscess detection, abdominal ultrasound for tumor, cyst, calculi and abscess evaluations along with cardiac examinations for genetic abnormalities and potential performance evaluation.
