Ultrasound is of vital importance because of its advantages over other diagnostic tests, such as x-rays or CT scans . It is in fact increasingly included in the diagnostic protocols of various veterinary clinics.

Ultrasound is a simple and non-invasive test, which means that, in most cases, it is not necessary to sedate the animal to perform it.

On the other hand, it is able to provide veterinarians with moving images of the structures studied, managing to differentiate the various types of tissues. In turn, it can be combined with other practices included in various diagnostic tests, such as the use of contrast media or ultrasound-guided injections, for greater precision in determining the alterations present in the animal.

Unlike other diagnostic techniques, ultrasound does not emit ionising radiation that could produce adverse biological effects and endanger the animal's life. For owners of patients who come to the clinic, ultrasound is an economical and safe technique, both for the animal and for the operators who perform it.
