How will an MRI help my pet?

With the help of an MRI, your veterinarian can identify the true nature of your pet's problem, giving you peace of mind and allowing your veterinarian to more effectively treat your pet.

MRI is a very powerful imaging tool. With an MRI, your veterinarian and veterinary radiologist can see soft tissues such as the brain or spine, joints, and cardiovascular structures in even better detail than with radiographs (x-rays) or CT-scan. In fact, one of the leading publications in veterinary medicine (DVM Sept 1, 2000) recently stated that MRI is now considered the best test for imaging soft tissues, especially the brain and spine.
