Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered to be the advanced imaging modality of choice when imaging the soft tissues of the body, including the nervous system. Most neurological problems require an MRI to give an accurate diagnosis. Anesthesia is required.
Southeast Veterinary Neurology utilizes high-field MRI. High-field MRI provides clearer images in less time compared to low-field MRI. This means a more accurate diagnosis with less need for anesthesia. Compare the high-field MRIs performed by Southeast Veterinary Neurology to the low-field MRIs.
