Modern portable ultrasound scan machines provide the veterinary clinician with an inexpensive and noninvasive method to further examine sheep on farms, which should take no more than 5 minutes with the results available immediately. Repeat examinations allow monitoring of the disease process and assessment of therapy. 5 MHz linear array scanners can be used for most organs except the heart and right kidney. Transthoracic ultrasonography is particularly useful for critical evaluation of lung and pleural pathologies. Transabdominal ultrasonographic examination can readily identify distended urinary bladder and advanced hydronephrosis.
现代便携式超声扫描仪为兽医临床医生提供了一种廉价且无创的方法，可在农场对绵羊进行进一步检查，整个检查过程不超过5分钟，且结果立即可得。重复检查有助于监测疾病进程和评估治疗效果。除心脏和右肾外，5兆赫线性阵列扫描仪可用于检查大多数器官。经胸超声检查对于肺部和胸膜病变的关键评估尤为有用。经腹超声检查能够轻易识别扩张的膀胱和晚期肾积水。
