Veterinary Ultrasound
Real-time, non-invasive imaging for abdomen, heart and soft tissue — from fast point-of-care FAST/TFAST scans to structured diagnostic studies, at the patient’s side.
Why veterinary ultrasound
Ultrasound answers questions radiography can’t — real-time, radiation-free views of organs, fluid and motion that guide decisions during the same visit.
Real-time & radiation-free
See organs, fluid and blood flow live, with no ionising radiation — ideal for rapid assessment and repeat scans.
Point-of-care ready
Fast FAST/TFAST scans for free fluid and triage in minutes, right at the table.
Broad clinical range
Abdominal, cardiac (echo), reproductive and soft-tissue imaging with the appropriate probe set.
How it works
A non-invasive scanning workflow from probe to a stored study.
- Prepare. Clip/prep the area and apply coupling gel for good contact.
- Select the probe. Choose the transducer and preset for the region (abdomen, cardiac, etc.).
- Scan in real time. Sweep the area and observe live imaging; adjust depth and gain as needed.
- Capture. Freeze, measure and save key frames and clips.
- Store to the record. Save the study to the patient file in NXVET (see below).

Where clinics use it
Abdominal work-ups
Assess liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen, GI and free fluid.
Emergency FAST / TFAST
Rapid detection of free fluid in trauma and unstable patients.
Cardiology (echo)
Structural and functional cardiac assessment with a cardiac probe.
Reproduction
Pregnancy confirmation and monitoring.
Guided procedures
Ultrasound-guided aspirates and sampling.
Recheck & monitoring
Radiation-free repeat imaging to follow a condition over time.

| Applications | Abdominal, cardiac, reproductive, soft-tissue, POC FAST/TFAST |
| Form factor | Cart-based or portable options |
| Output | On-screen imaging, measurements, image/clip export |
Model, probe options and full specifications are confirmed per manufacturer at time of order. Contact us for the configuration available in your region.
Ultrasound vs. X-ray
| Ultrasound | Radiography (X-ray) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it shows | Soft tissue, fluid, motion & flow | Bone & overall structure |
| Radiation | None | Ionising radiation |
| Real-time | Yes — live imaging | Static images |
| Best role | Organs, echo, guided sampling | Skeleton, thorax overview |
Ultrasound and radiography are complementary — most work-ups use both.
Works with the NXVET cloud
Studies on the chart — not siloed on the machine.
- Store ultrasound images and clips on the patient record in NXVET.
- Compare studies across visits to follow a condition.
- Share findings with owners and referral partners from one record.
- Build a connected imaging + diagnostics stack alongside your other NX-supplied equipment.
