Abdominal ultrasound explained
Ultrasound reads texture and structure: organ interiors, fluid, pregnancy, bladder walls and stones. It complements X-rays rather than replacing them. No radiation, usually no sedation (clipping required).
🧾 検査前の準備
- ✓Fast 8-12 hours for abdominal scans (less gas)
- ✓Keep the bladder comfortably full (don't empty early)
- ✓The scan area will be clipped

💡 読み方のポイント Ultrasound is the workhorse of breed screening: feline PKD and breed cardiac/abdominal programs rely on it. Quality depends heavily on operator experience — complex cases go to imaging specialists.

よくある質問
Ultrasound or X-ray first?
Depends on suspicion: bones and foreign-body patterns start with X-ray; organ interiors, pregnancy and fluid start with ultrasound. They're usually complementary.
Will the clipped fur grow back?
Yes, typically in 2-6 weeks. The probe needs direct skin contact — clipping is unavoidable.
