Spinal Cord Diseases in Cats (part 2)
|
 In the previous newsletter, we spoke about some tips for your neurological examination. Once you have your neuroanatomic localization, you can now consider the most likely differentials. There are a couple ways to look at this.. |
MRI Services
|
 We are now able to provide magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) services to animals in the Annapolis and surrounding area. With its excellent soft-tissue detail and three-dimensional reconstruction, MRI is one of the most powerful imaging techniques uniquely suited for the central nervous system. A safe, non-invasive and pain-free way to evaluate structures within the body, MRI utilizes a powerful magnetic field, radio-frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of internal body structures. MRI does not use ionizing radiation like conventional radiographs (x-rays) or computerized tomography (CT). More information about our MRI services is available on our website |
