Echocardiography utilizing M-mode and real-time techniques is a safe, noninvasive diagnostic technique for use in veterinary cardiology. It provides a means to assess structural sizes and relationships and can be used to provide quantitative data for diagnosis of congenital heart disease. Although its availability is largely limited to veterinary colleges and specialty hospitals, the practicing veterinarian should know of its advantages and disadvantages. He or she is also encouraged to consider the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of heart disease in all species of veterinary patients.
利用M型和实时技术的超声心动图是一种用于兽医心脏病学的安全、非侵入性诊断技术。它提供了一种评估结构大小和关系的方法，可用于为先天性心脏病的诊断提供定量数据。尽管其应用主要局限于兽医学院和专科医院，但执业兽医应该了解其优缺点。同时也鼓励他们考虑将超声用于所有兽医患者心脏病的诊断和管理。
