Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important tool for our Vets to be able to diagnose problems with the brain, spinal cord, and more. MRI is also helpful in diagnosing soft tissue (i.e., non-bone) musculoskeletal disorders.

Below are five questions to ask an MRI facility before sending your pet to that facility:

1) Is there a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist available for advice if needed?

2) Is there a board-certified neurologist on site?

3) Is the machine run by a certified MRI technologist?

4) Is the MRI machine 1.5 T strength or 3.0 T strength?

5) Is there MRI compatible anesthesia and monitoring equipment in the magnet room, next to the patient?

Elemental Pet Vets meets all requirements and has expert staff ready and able to assist your pet.
