Our 1.5T high-field MRI offers shorter scan times and high-resolution images,
making diagnosis more efficient and reliable.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to image the tissues inside the body. It is used mainly for neurological disease of the brain and spinal cord, and, unlike X-ray or CT, it does not use ionizing radiation.
  • 1.5T high-field MRI
  • FBI (Fresh Blood Imaging) reduces contrast agent use
  • Shorter scan times and detailed images

When an MRI is needed

MRI is used when pets show neurological signs such as seizures, altered consciousness, loss of vision, difficulty walking, or neck or back pain. It can also help diagnose joint disease that is hard to see on CT.
