The Focal Zone: Mobile Veterinary Ultrasound

Diagnostic Ultrasound has become the modality of choice for non-invasive investigation of soft tissue, including abdominal, echocardiography, thorax and small parts such as thyroid and musculoskeletal structures. The results of high quality, advanced techniques in ultrasound yield a great deal of information in the diagnostic work-up for the general practitioner and specialist alike.

What is The Focal Zone?

The Focal Zone is a mobile veterinary ultrasound service. The service is owned by Dr. Eric Lindquist, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice), Cert. IVUSS, of Sonopath.  We currently have a mobile sonographer on the road for The Focal Zone Monday – Friday.
