SonoEye P7: A Handheld Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System for Large Animals

Introduction

The SonoEye P7 is a cutting-edge handheld digital color Doppler ultrasound system designed for veterinary use. Its portability, high-resolution imaging, and advanced Doppler capabilities make it an excellent tool for diagnosing and monitoring large animals, including livestock and equine patients.

In this blog, we’ll explore which large animals can benefit from the SonoEye P7 and how veterinarians can utilize this device for efficient and accurate examinations.

Large Animals Suitable for SonoEye P7 Ultrasound

1. Equines (Horses)

The SonoEye P7 is widely used in equine medicine for:

• Reproductive exams (pregnancy detection, follicle monitoring)

• Tendon and ligament assessments (injuries, tears, inflammation)

• Cardiac evaluations (heart function, valve abnormalities)

• Abdominal scans (colic, intestinal obstructions)

Its real-time color Doppler helps assess blood flow in musculoskeletal injuries, improving diagnosis and treatment planning.

2. Cattle (Bovines)

In bovine practice, the SonoEye P7 assists with:

• Pregnancy diagnosis (early detection, fetal viability)

• Ovarian and uterine evaluations (cyst detection, reproductive health)

• Rumen and liver assessments (metabolic disorders, abscesses)

• Musculoskeletal exams (joint effusions, lameness causes)

The portable design allows for on-farm ultrasounds, reducing stress on animals and improving herd management.

3. Sheep & Goats (Ovines & Caprines)

The SonoEye P7 is valuable for:

• Pregnancy monitoring (multiple fetuses, gestational age)

• Udder health checks (mastitis, abscesses)

• Thoracic and abdominal scans (pneumonia, bloat, organ abnormalities)

Its high-frequency probes provide clear images even in smaller body regions.

4. Swine (Pigs)

For porcine health management, the device helps with:

• Reproductive scans (fetal counting, uterine health)

• Cardiac and lung evaluations (respiratory diseases, heart conditions)

• Muscle and joint assessments (lameness, injuries)

The lightweight and wireless (optional) operation makes it ideal for farm use.

5. Camelids (Llamas & Alpacas)

The SonoEye P7 can assist in:

• Pregnancy diagnostics (early detection, fetal positioning)

• Abdominal evaluations (GI stasis, liver disease)

• Respiratory assessments (lung infections, pleural effusion)
