寵物超聲波檢查

超聲波是一種無痛、無輻射的影像檢查，可即時觀察寵物體內器官的結構與活動。

常規超聲波可以分爲：腹部超聲波和心臟超聲波

 腹腔器官（肝臟、腎臟、膀胱、腸胃等），

 心臟超聲波可用來評估心臟大小、心肌厚度、瓣膜功能與血流情況，對於心雜音、呼吸急促、容易疲倦、老年寵物特別重要。也有一些先天心臟病的動物，是透過心臟超聲波發現的。

比起X光，超聲波能提供更多軟組織與心臟動態細節，

有助及早發現問題，為後續治療與麻醉評估做好準備。

#Pet Ultrasound Examination

Ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive imaging test with no radiation, allowing real-time evaluation of your pet’s internal organs and their function.

Routine ultrasound examinations are generally divided into two types:

 Abdominal ultrasound

Used to assess abdominal organs such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, and more.

 Cardiac (heart) ultrasound

Used to evaluate heart size, heart muscle thickness, valve function, and blood flow.

It is especially important for pets with heart murmurs, rapid or labored breathing, easy fatigue, or senior pets.

Some congenital heart diseases are also diagnosed through cardiac ultrasound.

Compared with X-rays, ultrasound provides greater detail of soft tissues and dynamic heart motion, helping with early detection of problems and better preparation for treatment planning and anesthesia assessment.
