THIS SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL ISLAND PET OWNERS, PLEASE ASK YOUR VET
We have teamed up with Burgess Diagnostics, the leading provider of 1.5T mobile MRI scanning facilities to the veterinary profession, to be able to offer this service to our clients, and those of Island veterinary practices.
MRI and CT scanning are becoming increasingly used and recognised in veterinary medicine. In some instances, conventional x-ray is just not enough to be confident with a diagnosis. MRI scanning procedures are safe and highly effective methods of producing clear cross sectional images of the body. This means that complex neurological and spinal injuries can be reliably diagnosed and then be effectively treated.
The lorry is staffed by an experienced radiographer and each vehicle is also equipped with anaesthetic and monitoring equipment for us to ensure your pet is well looked after at all times.
Veterinary practices who have cases in this area can refer these to Island VetCare for MRI.
