Is the MRI painful for my pet? |

No. The MRI is painless. Some pets are uncomfortable because of other health problems. We will take great care in ensuring their comfort. |

 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses safe magnetic fields to produce very clear pictures of the body. MRI is the best diagnostic test that can differentiate between bone, soft tissue, gas, fluids and fat. MRI provides your pet with the latest diagnostic technology as would be available for the rest of your family. |

Why should my animal companion get an MRI? |
 When you bring your pet to your veterinarian for an evaluation, an examination is performed and diagnostic tests may be necessary. Often other tests cannot provide sufficient information to determine an accurate diagnosis. However, MRI provides the extra detail needed for your veterinarian to make the most accurate decision possible. |
