MRI Scan
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is carried out on your pet to look for issues including tumours, bleeding, injuries, blood vessel illnesses, or infections.
To get more specific information about an issue detected by an X-ray, ultrasound scan, or CT scan, your vet may choose to use an MRI scan on your pet.

When can a MRI Scan be used?
An MRI scan may be used to find:
- Brain diseases including tumors, infarcts (lack of blood to an area of the brain), abscesses, and inflammation of the brain’s covering.
- Herniated discs, stenosis (narrowing of the vertebral column), nerve root impingement, and spinal tumours are a few examples of spinal disorders that can be identified using an MRI.

What happens during an MRI scan?
Your pet must go without eating for at least 12 hours before to the scan since general anaesthesia is used during an MRI to minimize stress and motion. Your pet is then passed through a safe magnetic field. Including recovery time from the anaesthetic, the complete treatment lasts around one hour.
Why an MRI scan?
The tissues of your pets body are incredibly clear thanks to MRI. When evaluating the neurological system and, occasionally, the musculoskeletal system in animals, veterinary neurologists and radiologists most frequently suggest using MRI. The brain, spinal cord, intervertebral discs, tendons and ligaments, and muscles may all be examined using MRI, which is better at doing so than a CT scan.
Is an MRI scan safe for my pet?
MRI uses no radiation, making it more safer than CAT scans, which requires taking multiple X-ray image slices through the body.
