Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography For Your Pet | Koroit Veterinary Clinic
While X-rays show us the shape of organs, Ultrasonography allows us to see their texture and movement. Koroit Veterinary Clinic uses this advanced sound-wave technology to create a real-time map of your pet’s internal organs, helping us diagnose complex soft tissue problems.

Ultrasonography FAQs
Just a few common questions about Ultrasonography. If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!
Is it safe for puppies and kittens?
Yes. Ultrasonography uses non-ionizing radiation (sound waves), unlike X-rays. It is completely safe for developing fetuses, which is why it is the standard for pregnancy checks.
What is A-FAST / T-FAST?
These are emergency acronyms. If your pet has been hit by a car, we perform a FAST scan (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma). We aren’t looking at the details; we are looking for “free fluid” (internal bleeding) in the tummy or chest. It takes 2 minutes and saves lives.
Can you see everything?
Not quite. Ultrasound cannot see through Gas or Bone. If a dog has a stomach full of gas (bloat) or we need to look inside the skull, Ultrasound won’t work. In those cases, we switch back to X-rays or recommend a CT scan
