Ultrasound veterinary clinical solution for exotic and unconventional animals
The diagnostic approach to exotic and unconventional animals presents unique challenges due to differences in physiology and size, and the difficulty of obtaining a complete clinical history or performing a thorough physical examination.
In this context, ultrasonography emerges as a safe, non-invasive and highly informative imaging technique that provides veterinarians with a crucial tool for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of pathological conditions.
Similar to small animal medicine, ultrasound in exotic animals allows for real-time visualization of internal organs, assessment of their structure and functionality, and identification of abnormalities such as masses, effusions, abscesses, or parenchymal alterations. However, the specific anatomical features and varying sizes of these species require a tailored approach, as well as the use of appropriate equipment and transducers.

The correct probe for a correct diagnosis
When it comes to the intricate details that are vital for diagnosing exotic animals, Esaote’s Advanced Probes Technology provides a precise representation of their diverse anatomical structures. Recognizing the often small size and unique tissue characteristics of these patients, Esaote leverages its expertise in high-frequency probe manufacturing to offer a specialized portfolio of transducers. These probes are designed to provide unparalleled levels of detailed imaging, which is crucial for visualizing subtle changes in delicate organs.
While XCrystal Technology significantly enhances sensitivity and penetration–making it beneficial even for larger exotic species and deeper structures–our focus on high-frequency capabilities ensures exceptional resolution for the smallest patients. This allows you to confidently diagnose exotic animals of all sizes, from tiny rodents and fragile birds to larger reptiles and specialized mammals.
Efficient workflow for minimizing scan time
Given the potential for stress and discomfort in sensitive exotic animals during ultrasound examinations, reducing scan time is of paramount importance. Esaote provides automatic setting tools designed to quickly optimize imaging and produce the highest quality results. eScan technology automatically fine-tunes gain and contrast in real time, while easyMode and easyColor offer intuitive image optimization using just three touchscreen sliders. These features significantly accelerate workflow by intelligently managing over 40 parameters based on your imaging preferences or the region of interest. This leads to shorter examination times and enhanced diagnostic information, ultimately benefiting the well-being of your exotic patients.
High-detail B-Mode: crucial for exotic animal visualization
High-quality B-Mode imaging is paramount for ultrasound scanning of exotic animals due to their anatomical diversity and often small size. Exceptional detail visualization is key to accurately identifying subtle anatomical structures, which are often less documented than those of domestic animals. For these small patients, high-resolution B-Mode is essential for detecting fine details, subtle organ changes, and small lesions that would be missed with poor image quality. This precise visualization of tissue interfaces and echogenicity is essential for making early and accurate diagnoses in our diverse exotic animal population, where non-invasive imaging relies heavily on the clarity of the B-Mode image.
Achieving a confident microvascular assessment
It is often crucial to visualize minute blood flow in order to evaluate organ perfusion and characterize subtle lesions in exotic animals. Esaote’s microV technology offers exceptional sensitivity, spatial precision, and rapid hemodynamic analysis, specifically designed for imaging microvascularization. This capability provides the highest level of sensitivity for detecting small vessels and slow flow, which is particularly important in the often delicate and poorly understood vascular systems of these species. Furthermore, QPack enables the acquisition of quantitative microcirculatory measurements, allowing for standardized assessments and improved monitoring of vascular health in exotic patients.
