Ultrasound waves represent sound waves that exceed normal human audible frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hertz. Diagnostic ultrasound imaging depends on the computerized analysis of reflected ultrasound waves (echoes), which non-invasively build up fine images of internal body structures. This paper conducted to review the use and principle of ultrasound in veterinary medicine. The transducer of ultrasound produces sound waves (pulse) and receives the sound beam (echo) after the sound got reflected by a reflecting surface. Transducers contain multiple piezoelectric crystals or materials that are able to convert electrical energy in to mechanical energy and vice versa when stimulated electrically. .It is unique in its ability to image patient anatomy and physiology in real time, providing an important, rapid and noninvasive means of evaluation. Ultrasonography provides information about size, shape, and location of structures; moreover. It also provides information about the soft-tissue architecture of the structure or organ being examined though it is not suitable to diagnose air containing structures and bone due to their strong reflecting property. The wavelength of ultrasound influences the resolution of the images that can be obtained; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and the better the resolution.
