ABDOMINAL or CARDIAC

This is an essential diagnostic instrument which allows visualization into the chest, abdomen and internal organs. Using completely safe sound waves, images of the inside and outside of the organs can be seen. Heart function can be assessed to help in treatment of the different cardiomyopathies, heart valve and congenital diseases we find in our animals.
