MRI at Eastcott Veterinary Referrals

We have invested in a state-of-the-art Philips MR5300 AI-enabled MRI scanner. This represents the latest technology in advanced imaging capabilities, providing highly detailed cross-sectional images of the brain and spinal cord in 50% less time than conventional MRI scanners. This reduces the time that patients spend under general anaesthesia and helps our specialist-led neurology team to accurately diagnose conditions and decide on the best treatment.

Philips MR5300 AI-enabled MRI scanner

MRI can be used to diagnose the following conditions:

  • Brain disorders – including stroke, inflammatory disease, infections, tumours and cysts
  • Spinal disorders – including disc herniations (IVDD), congenital disorders, infections and tumours
  • Musculoskeletal disorders – evaluation of joints, tendons and ligaments.

I think my pet requires an MRI scan – what should I do?

The best thing is to discuss different options with your local vet. They will discuss different referral options with you and ensure you arrive at the best possible decision for your pet.

If your pet has a brain or spinal disorder they may benefit from referral to our expert specialist-led neurology team who will carefully examine your pet and discuss the possible causes of the problem with you and then arrange further investigations. The consultation is included within our fixed-price MRI and Neurology investigations package.
