Resumo	Ultrasonography is a diagnostic imaging method using high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal structures. Adapted from human medical ultrasound beginning in the 1960s-1970s, veterinary ultrasonography is now essential for soft tissue imaging, particularly for abdominal, cardiac, and thoracic assessment. Modern portable ultrasound units enable point-of-care evaluation, and Doppler techniques allow assessment of blood flow and cardiac function.	Clinical scoring systems provide standardized methods for objectively assessing animal health status, pain, disease severity, and treatment outcomes. Developed progressively by veterinary organizations and research groups since the early 2000s, these systems enable consistent documentation, comparison of cases, and evidence-based clinical decision-making across species and practice settings.
