Imaging the Brain with MRI
Read
The increasing use of MRI in veterinary patients over the last 25 years has meant
a dramatic increase in the ability to diagnose and therefore treat many diseases, especially those affecting the central nervous system. Initially, veterinary patients were scanned at medical or research facilities (unusually at unsocial hours), then a few veterinary institutions installed mostly mid- and high-field scanners and more recently low field systems designed for the veterinary market have become popular. Now
most referral facilities and many first opinion practices either have their own scanner or ready access to one via mobile MR scanners in large lorries. The rapid expansion of teleradiology services has also meant that images acquired can be interpreted by experts even when the user is an MRI novice.
This lecture will address MRI of the brain in veterinary patients, considering the technique and approach to interpretation. It is based on 24 years of experience with on-site MRI at the AHT, since 2000 with a 1.5 Tesla magnet. […]
