What Are the Benefits of MRI Scanning for Pets?

An MRI administered by our team of professional radiologists and technologists can provide a bone and soft tissue contrast that’s up to eight times greater than X-rays or CT scans can deliver. Your vet will receive multi-planar images that can facilitate a more accurate diagnosis. The process is also non-invasive, which means no incisions are necessary.

How Do I Schedule an Appointment at an Outpatient Center?

Our outpatient centers operate on a referral basis. Your veterinarian may recommend a visit to one of our animal MRI locations if other standard testing methods do not allow for a thorough diagnosis, if a more accurate diagnosis is necessary to assist in care decisions or if you and your vet prefer a non-invasive diagnostic approach. You can then contact the nearest pet MRI scanner location to set up a convenient appointment. We typically require a lead time of 48 to 72 hours, though same-day service is available for emergencies.

What Happens When I Take My Pet to an Outpatient Center?

When you arrive at the outpatient center, we’ll use information from your vet to localize the problem to a specific body system or part — we can perform an MRI on any part of an animal’s body. We’ll then give your pet anesthesia so that they remain still throughout the testing process. Next, we’ll interpret the results and provide them to your vet for further analysis. Expect the process to take approximately three hours, which encompasses filling out paperwork, testing, recovery time and traveling to and from the center.
