Meet the Focal Zone Mobile Ultrasound Team
Kelly Reschny, RVT
SDEP® Certified Sonographer
Kelly Reschny, RVT, co-heads the Focal Zone, fueled by SonoPath. An illustrious graduate of St. Claire College’s Veterinary Technician Program, Kelly boasts a 25-year career across numerous small and mixed veterinary clinics and hospitals around the greater Hamilton area. Kelly has worked in animal health care since she was a teenager cleaning cages at a local clinic. She joined the Focal Zone mobile ultrasound team in 2018.
Kelly’s commitment to animal nursing allows her to readily work with all veterinary teams and clinics. In her role as mobile sonographer, she relishes being part of a specialist diagnostic team and is further advanced by the SonoPath community as an SDEP® Certified Instructor in abdominal and cardiac ultrasound. She actively participates in numerous ultrasound labs at the SonoPath Education Center every year, consistently updating her skills in line with the latest industry standards. Her continuous professional development is showcased at the highest level of proficiency completing thousands of successful ultrasound scans a year.
Outside of her work in ultrasound, Kelly is an avid mountain biker. She enjoys playing hockey and baseball with her two teenage sons and partner Erik. She lives in Greater Hamilton with her dog named Beans, Fox the gecko, Pierre the ball python, and Delilah and Ceciliah the budgies. When Kelly visits your clinic, ask her about the current project she is working on at home- you never know if it will be sewing, building, art, or more!
Mandi Stewart, RVT
Mandi Stewart is a Registered Veterinary Technician and a 2012 graduate of the Veterinary Technician program at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario. She joined The Focal Zone team in August 2024, bringing with her over 12 years of hands-on clinical experience. With a longstanding interest in radiology and ultrasonography, the opportunity to join SonoPath represented a natural progression in Mandi’s professional development.
Mandi thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments that challenge her and support continuous skill development. Her role at SonoPath has provided the opportunity to engage not only in hands-on diagnostic work but also in teaching and mentoring at SDEP® Labs—an aspect she finds particularly fulfilling. Contributing to the education of others while refining her own expertise has deepened her commitment to the field. She remains actively engaged with current veterinary literature and emerging research in diagnostic imaging, ensuring her knowledge stays at the forefront of veterinary technology.
Outside of work, Mandi enjoys spending time in nature—whether it’s camping, cottaging, or hiking—and cherishes time with family and friends. At home, she can usually be found relaxing with her rescue cat, Omi, or watching Netflix with her fiancé, Nikki. As lifelong hockey fan, when she visits your clinic she would love to hear that this year is the year for her beloved Toronto Maple Leafs!

Makes It Easy for the Client to Say Yes to an Ultrasound
The Focal Zone works with your hospital to help quickly find the answers you need. From phone call to clinic visit in 12-24 hours, you and your patient will have the support of our experienced general practitioner quickly, keeping your cases in-house. Our SDEP™ certified technicians, Kelly Reschny, RVT & Crystal Hill, RVT, visit your clinic, perform the ultrasound, and provide a comprehensive report. If needed, our technicians perform ultrasound-guided needle aspirates, abdominocentesis, or pericardiocentesis.
You receive routine reports within 24 hours of case submission. STAT reports in less than 6 hours. The report includes sonographic findings and internal medicine treatment recommendations with annotated images identifying any pathology or areas of interest.
At The Focal Zone, we know that diagnostic ultrasound is the modality of choice for non-invasive investigation of soft tissue, including the abdomen, heart, thorax and small parts such as thyroid and musculoskeletal structures. Our results with high-quality, advanced techniques in ultrasound yield an abundance of information in the diagnostic work-up for the general practitioner and specialist alike.
The Focal Zone is fueled by SonoPath– fostering the art of veterinary medicine. Founded by Dr. Eric Lindquist, DVM (Italy), DABVP (CFP), Cert. IVUSS, SonoPath provides a source of sonographic pathology information accessible to veterinarians of all levels of canine, feline, and exotic medicine.
