What should the client expect when their pet has an ultrasound exam?

The client needs to withhold food for at least 8 hours before the exam, and their pet's ventral abdomen and/or chest will be shaved. It's recommended that clients do not attend the exam as it may distract the sonographer, though exceptions can be discussed.

How long does the exam take to perform?

Most echocardiograms and abdominal sonograms are completed in approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Where should the exam take place in my practice?

The exam should occur in a room that can be darkened without interrupting workflow, such as a spare exam room, surgery room, X-ray room, or treatment area.

Abdominal ultrasound reports are emailed the day after the exam, while cardiac ultrasound reports are reviewed by a cardiologist and sent the next day.

What does an ultrasound-guided tru-cut biopsy entail?

The pet is placed under light anesthesia or heavy sedation for about 10 minutes while the biopsy is performed with simultaneous visualization.

What does a fine needle aspirate (FNA) entail?

An FNA is often done with a 22g needle, usually without sedation, and typically requires confirmation of a normal platelet count before the procedure.
