Description

Dr. Narendra runs a Diagnostic Imaging Specialist referral service for patient who requires specialist ultrasound for examination, diagnosis and ultrasound guided biopsies. The advantage of Myra pet clinic visiting is that we do not need to referral your pet to a specialist centre which means less traveling for you and your pet, it is performed in familiar surroundings and with vet and nurses with whom you and your pet is comfortable with. There are many reasons for having a sonogram performed on your pet. As with people, we use them for pregnancy diagnosis. More often though, we use them for identifying bladder and kidney stones, identifying masses, evaluating heart function, and for evaluating liver, spleen and other organs.Ultrasound works great for soft tissue (organs, muscles, fluid) but the sound waves do not travel through bone or air. Therefore, for imaging limbs, back, head and lungs, x-rays are still superior. Even for the abdomen and heart, x-rays can give us information about size and shape that ultrasound will not. Since x-rays and ultrasounds give us different information, they actually complement each other and often times a doctor will recommend both procedures. All ultrasound exams are sent out for a second opinion. We input all of our ultrasound exams into a computer and send the images through the phone line to a certified veterinary radiologist (see telemedicine). Within 24-48 hours, we have a specialist's second opinion faxed right to our office. In cases of cardiac exams, all x-rays, EKG's and ultrasound images are sent to a certified cardiologist. This assures that your pet gets the best and most recent medical care for whatever problem is diagnosed.
