Ultrasonography has proven to be a valuable tool to visualize soft tissue structures. Joints, ligaments & tendon injuries can be diagnosed and monitored using this modality. It can also be used for evaluating the lungs/chest and abdomens of horses. Some common conditions that affect horses and an ultrasound exam would benefit from are:

​

• Suspensory ligament damage

• Bowed tendons

• Bursitis

• Fibrotic myopathies (muscle scar tissue)

• Trauma, swelling, hematomas in muscle or tendons

• Reproductive examination
