Learn how to perform a canine renal ultrasound scan in lateral recumbency using the Butterfly ultrasound system. Dr. Lee Gregory demonstrates how to prepare the scanning area, position and orient the probe, optimize depth and gain, and evaluate the kidney in its entirety.
This veterinary ultrasound demonstration focuses on identifying the kidney and assessing its size, shape, and overall appearance. The scan also highlights evaluation of the renal pelvis and corticomedullary distinction for potential abnormalities.
