Frequently asked questions

Can a human ultrasound machine be used on animals?
Many can, but veterinary versions add species presets, measurement tables and probe sizes that make scanning faster and reports correct.
Which ultrasound is best for cattle pregnancy?
A rugged portable scanner with a rectal linear probe is the usual choice for pregnancy diagnosis in cattle.
Is a handheld ultrasound good for vets?
For quick checks — bladder, free fluid, pregnancy — yes. For detailed abdominal or cardiac work, a laptop or cart system is better.
