Is mobile MRI the best solution for my veterinary specialty practice? 

Mobile Veterinary MRI

When is a mobile MRI the best solution for a veterinary specialty practice? The optimum system for imaging dogs, cats, and other small companion animals is a fixed site MRI with control room, space to safely anesthetize pets, and easy access for updates and removal. The trouble is that specialty VetMed is advancing so quickly that changing out these systems can become costly.  There are several scenarios in which we recommend installation of a mobile MRi over a fixed MRI. These scenarios include:

• Space limitations within a practice
• Practice structure will not support a 5,000 kg piece of equipment
• Unknown growth opportunity of a new veterinary neurology department
• Budget constraints on RF Shielding 
• Low caseload

Leasing a mobile MRI can be a fantastic solution for practices in the early stages of building their neurology business. These prefabricated MRI outfitted trailers boast several benefits: 

• Little to no up-front costs
• Easy to upgrade equipment
• Reducing operational costs while offering state of the art imaging
