Ultrasound Scanning

Reproductive & Injury Diagnosis

Our advanced equine ultrasound scanning service provides accurate and efficient imaging for both reproductive cycle management and lameness or injury diagnosis. Whether at your property or at our purpose-built stocks, we ensure a safe and professional scanning process.

Reproductive Ultrasound: Cycle Management & Pregnancy Scanning

We use a specialised ultrasound probe designed for equine reproductive examinations, allowing us to:
Track mare cycles before insemination
Confirm pregnancy at an early stage
Perform post-insemination checks
Manage twin pregnancies
Conduct flushing and other reproductive procedures

Our battery-powered, portable ultrasound machine allows us to scan at your property, provided there is a safe, solid area for the vet to stand behind the mare, plus a handler to assist. Alterntively, stocks facilities are available at Panorama Equestrian, in Gladstone which we can arrange for this purpose.

Tendon & Joint Scanning

Ultrasound is an essential tool for diagnosing and monitoring tendon, ligament, and joint injuries.

Common uses include:

Assessing bowed tendons and ligament injuries
Diagnosing subtle lameness issues after a workup
Detecting proximal suspensory desmitis, a hidden but significant issue in performance horses
Routine flexor tendon scans for high-level competition horses to monitor changes throughout the season

Ultrasound imaging helps us diagnose injuries, recommend the best treatment plans, and estimate healing time and prognosis. We offer mobile scanning services at your location, or you can visit us at Panorama Equestrian in Gladstone by prior arrangement.
