Massachusetts Equine Clinic
Ultrasonography
Our portable digital ultrasound units allow us to perform high-quality imaging right at your farm, giving us a safe and effective way to evaluate soft tissue and internal structures without transporting your horse. Ultrasound is especially helpful for diagnosing tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries, as well as monitoring healing during recovery.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images inside the body. Our veterinarians are trained to interpret these images, identify abnormalities, and recommend the best next steps for your horse’s care. The procedure is non-invasive, well tolerated, and often does not require sedation.
Common Uses
Tendon and ligament injuries
Muscle tears or strains
Wounds, abscesses, and foreign bodies
