Advanced MRI Imaging for Veterinary Care

High-Resolution, Radiation-Free Diagnostics

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a critical tool in veterinary medicine, offering detailed soft tissue visualization without radiation exposure. At PrizMED, we provide refurbished, FDA-approved MRI systems from top manufacturers, making high-quality imaging more accessible for veterinary clinics and hospitals.

We offer:

• Open and high-field options for small and large animals.
• Fixed and mobile configurations for flexible setups.
• Expert guidance to help you find the right system.
• Comprehensive service and repair to ensure reliable performance.

Why More Clinics Are Using MRI Technology

MRI has become the gold standard for imaging soft tissues, the brain, and musculoskeletal structures. Unlike X-ray or CT, it:

• Provides unmatched soft tissue contrast for precise diagnoses.
• Uses no ionizing radiation, making it a safer option.
• Delivers exceptional detail, ideal for neurological and orthopedic cases.

Key Applications in Veterinary Medicine

MRI is widely used to diagnose and monitor:

• Brain and spinal cord conditions
• Muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries
• Soft tissue masses and tumor detection
• Sinus, orbital, and ear disorders
• Chronic wounds and cancer staging

For dogs, cats, and other domestic animals, MRI plays a crucial role in identifying neurological disorders, orthopedic diseases, and soft tissue abnormalities, providing deeper insights than other imaging methods.

Choosing the Right System for Your Clinic

When selecting an MRI scanner, key factors include:

• Magnet Type & Field Strength

  • Low-field (0.23T–0.3T): Cost-effective, helium-free permanent magnets, ideal for routine veterinary diagnostics.
  • High-field (1.5T): Faster scan times with higher resolution, preferred for detailed musculoskeletal and neurological studies.

• Fixed vs. Mobile Configurations

  • Fixed units are best for clinics performing frequent imaging.
  • Mobile trailers provide shared service options, making advanced imaging accessible to multiple practices.

• Efficiency & Workflow Features

  • Systems with fast reconstruction speeds (300 images/sec) improve workflow and patient throughput.

Veterinary Costs & Financial Considerations

Owning an MRI scanner is now a realistic option for many veterinary clinics, thanks to refurbished systems that provide significant cost savings.

Typical price ranges for refurbished veterinary MRI scanners:

• Open Systems → $80,000 – $150,000
• High-Field 1.5T → $150,000 – $300,000

Beyond the purchase price, clinics should consider operational costs, including anesthesia for patient immobilization, facility requirements, and maintenance.
