How to incorporate US into the veterinary practice-a step-by-step guideUltrasound has become a standard imaging modality in veterinary clinics nationwide. It is a powerful diagnostic tool that can detect intra-organ growths, fluid build-up, and other maladies that are difficult or impossible to observe on radiographs.
