What to expect
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, and other internal body structures.
Detailed MR images allow veterinary radiologists to better evaluate parts of the body and certain diseases that may not be assessed adequately with other imaging methods such as X-rays, ultrasound, or CT scans. We are using a dedicated veterinary MRI – the Esaote Vet-MR Grande.
Veterinarians request MR imaging to help diagnose the following:
• Tumors and inflammatory diseases of the brain and spinal cord • Disorders of the eye and the inner ear • Disease in the pituitary gland • Disorders of head and skull • Disorders of bones and joints
