Faster, Clearer, Better: What Our 3T MRI Means for Your Pet

At DoveLewis, we’re always looking for ways to provide the best care possible for your pets. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our new 3T MRI, an advanced technology that enhances both the diagnostic process and the overall experience for both pets and their families. So, what exactly does this mean for your animal? Let’s dive into how this advanced imaging tool makes a difference in your pet’s care.

What is a 3T MRI?

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a technique used by veterinarians and medical professionals to create detailed images of the inside of the body. The "3T" refers to the strength of the MRI's magnetic field, measured in Tesla units. The higher the Tesla rating, the clearer and more detailed the images. Our new 3T MRI, the only one available for animals in Oregon, offers unmatched clarity, allowing us to see the most intricate details of your pet's anatomy, even in the most challenging cases.

Faster Exams, Less Stress

One of the biggest advantages of our 3T MRI is speed. This means less time spent on the table for your pet and less stress and anxiety for both them and you. Quicker procedures are particularly beneficial for pets who may not do well under anesthesia or for those who may feel more anxious in a clinical setting. The faster turnaround time also allows our veterinary team to get results sooner, speeding up diagnosis and treatment plans.

Superior Image Quality for Accurate Diagnoses

The 3T MRI's high-resolution images provide exceptional clarity and uniformity, giving our veterinary team a precise view of what’s happening inside your pet's body. This detailed imaging helps in diagnosing even the most difficult conditions, from soft tissue injuries and neurological issues to heart and lung problems. With clearer images, we can more confidently detect problems, which is key to providing the best treatment options.

Neurology Expertise at Your Service

When it comes to neurological issues, the 3T MRI becomes even more invaluable. Our expert Neurology team is available five days a week to provide expert care and guidance. The clarity and precision of the MRI allow our neurologists to better understand conditions like spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, and more. With the 3T MRI, we can offer a higher level of expertise and confidence in diagnosing and managing neurological conditions, ensuring that your pet gets the best possible care.

A Path to Faster, More Confident Care

With the combination of faster exams and more detailed imaging, the 3T MRI ensures that we can achieve quicker, more reliable diagnoses. This not only speeds up treatment but also boosts our confidence in the care we provide. The clarity and precision of the MRI images help us pinpoint the issue more accurately, allowing us to tailor treatments to your pet’s specific needs.

What This Means for Your Pet’s Care

By bringing this advanced technology to DoveLewis, we can offer even higher levels of care to your pets. Whether your pet is coming in for an urgent diagnosis or specialty care, you can trust that we have the tools and expertise to provide the best care possible. The 3T MRI helps us see your pet’s health with new eyes—giving us the clarity to make informed decisions that will directly benefit their well-being.
