When should I refer for an MRI?

MRI provides exceptional soft tissue detail, making it extremely useful in imaging the nervous system, joints, cardiovascular structures, and the abdominal organs.

It is particularly useful in (1) situations where other diagnostic tests have failed to give a diagnosis, (2) a client is hesitant to pursue invasive procedures, or (3) an owner needs an accurate diagnosis when making difficult decisions regarding the care of their pet.

Specific uses are as follows:

• Seizure Patients
• Patients with Vestibular Symptoms
• Neck or Back Pain
• Paresis
• Ataxia
• Lameness
• Abnormal Nasal Drainage or Swelling

How does the referral process work?

A referral can be made by speaking directly with the staff at your local CMRI Center.

• Once the referral has been arranged, your clients can schedule an appointment with us directly.
• All pertinent information, including medical record and results of recent blood work should be faxed to CMRI in advance of your client's appointment.
• X-rays can be brought in by the client on the appointment day.
• The day of the MRI, our staff veterinarian will speak with you personally after the study has been completed to update you on your patient's condition.
• Payment is expected at time of service. CMRI accepts cash, Visa, MasterCard, American express, Discover, and Care Credit.
