Coastal Veterinary Imaging
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of ultrasounds do you perform?
When can we expect
to receive results?
Do our patients need
to be sedated for
their ultrasound?
Coastal Veterinary Imaging currently offers both Abdominal ultrasound and Echocardiograms.
​
Studies are performed by a
Registered Sonographer and submitted to Board Certified Radiologists
and Cardiologists for review.
Written Abdominal Ultrasound reports are provided within 24 hours although most reports will be completed the same business day.
Echocardiogram reports are often completed within 24 hours but may take up to 48 depending on the Cardiologist's caseload.
​
STAT reports are available upon request for critical patients within 1-4 hours.
While we always try to complete the ultrasound without sedation, we may recommend a patient be sedated if we feel the image quality is being compromised.
​
We take great care in making our patients feel comfortable and most times sedation is not required.
