MRI Service and Maintenance  -AnimalScan offers industry specific service packages delivering peace of mind at competitive rates. We understand that maintaining functional equipment is extremely important because we know that the majority of our customers’ patients are high risk and must be anesthetized for the MR procedure.

CT and MRI Applications in Veterinary Medicine

Your practice can use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout a wide variety of applications. For example, veterinarians now use an MRI to diagnose eye and orbital diseases, musculoskeletal problems and identify aneurysms and other vascular malformations.

Computed tomography (CT) is a radiographic evaluation that shows bony and soft tissue lesions. This is a great way to diagnose fractures and understand how to repair them. You can also use CT scans during orthopedic surgery to get a 3-D look at bones, blood vessels and tissues.

Why Do Veterinarians Use CT and MRI Machines?

Most veterinary practices use CT and MRI machines to get a better look at what’s going on inside of a patient. For example, both give you cross-sectional images that show slices of everything from bone and lung details to soft tissue. This ensures you know exactly what’s going on and can provide the best level of care for your patient.

When to use a CT vs. MRI?

Different modalities of advanced imaging are used to diagnose different types of disease. What sets these scans apart is critical in choosing the right one for diagnosis. MRI is generally more effective at imaging soft tissue disorders while CT is better at imaging boney structures.

Below are some examples of disease for which an MRI would be requested:

  • Tumors
  • Joint Abnormalities
  • Blood Vessel Irregularities
  • Brain Problems
  • Liver Disease
  • Bone Disorders

Most often, CT scans are used to look for problems in your bones, tissues, brain or other organs. Veterinarians typically use CT scans to identify the following conditions:

  • Abdominal Abnormalities
  • Urinary Bleeding Causes
  • Lung Issues
  • Skeletal System
  • Head Conditions
