We provide an expert mobile diagnostic ultrasound service for our referring vets, striving to be available, friendly and straightforward in our approach.

A limited scan of the thorax and heart is included with all comprehensive scans at no additional cost. Targeted evaluations are also offered.

Services we offer

  • A detailed examination of abdominal organs and peritoneal cavity including kidneys, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, internal reproductive organs and major abdominal lymph nodes.

    A limited assessment of the chest cavity for presence of pleural fluid, consolidated lung tissue, pericardial fluid and a subjective assessment of the appearance of the heart, with basic echocardiography being performed where relevant.

    Detailed Echocardiography can also be bundled with a Comprehensive Scan for a more complete evaluation.

    Fine needle aspirates and diagnostic centesis samples are included (within reason).

  • Detailed Echocardiography is available to clinics in the South Eastern Suburbs.

    Detailed Echocardiography involves use of dedicated cardiac probes, employing Pulse Wave, Continuous Wave, Colour Doppler, and Tissue Doppler Imaging to best evaluate heart function and to guide management.

    Detailed Echocardiography can also be bundled with a Comprehensive Scan for a more complete evaluation.

    Look for the ❤️ on the “Availability” calendar.

  • Where a specific organ or system is in question, a targeted scan is offered at a reduced fee. Fine needle aspirate or centesis of one area is included. An additional fee applies to therapeutic centesis procedures. Examples of where this may apply include:

    • Basic echocardiography (suited to ACVIM staging myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs, identifying DCM in dogs and staging feline heart disease)

    • Urinary tract sonography for cystitis cases and renal disease

    • Prostatomegaly investigation

    • Assessment and needle aspiration of consolidated peripheral lung tissue identified on X ray, or diagnostic/therapeutic centesis of a pleural effusion

    • Repeated, targeted scans of previously identified issues

    • Pregnancy diagnosis

  • A targeted scan of the gastrointestinal tract with the aim of answering the question: “Is there an obstruction?”

    Suited to young, acutely vomiting patients, where there is not a likelihood of disease in other organs.

  • Drainage of pleural, pericardial or peritoneal effusions for a therapeutic purpose.

    Performed in addition to a comprehensive or targeted scan.
