We are proud to offer advanced diagnostic imaging with our on-site Siemens 1.5T Avanto Fit MRI, one of the most powerful and precise tools available in veterinary medicine. This high-field MRI scanner delivers exceptional image quality, enabling our team to detect subtle abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. With this technology, we can accurately diagnose a wide range of neurological conditions to help properly treat your pet with clarity and confidence.
Through our partnership with Virtual Scan, a respected remote scanning service in the veterinary community, we have the flexibility to perform MRI studies any day of the week, ensuring timely care. Whether your pet is experiencing seizures, unexplained pain, or mobility issues, our MRI capabilities allow us to uncover the root cause quickly and non-invasivelyā€”leading to faster diagnoses and better outcomes.
Because MRI scans require absolute stillness to produce clear, diagnostic images, all veterinary patients must undergo general anesthesia during the procedure. This ensures your pet remains calm, comfortable, and motionless throughout the scan, which typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes. At our hospital, we prioritize safety by conducting thorough pre-anesthetic evaluations, including bloodwork and health assessments, to tailor the anesthesia plan to each individual pet. Our facility is equipped with MRI-compatible anesthesia machines and advanced monitoring equipment, allowing continuous observation of vital signs throughout the procedure. A dedicated team of trained veterinary nurses oversees the anesthesia process, all under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian, ensuring the highest standards of care and safety during the imaging procedure.
If you believe your pet could benefit from a MRI, pleaseĀ schedule a consultation with our neurologistĀ today.
