COMPANION MRI

Veterinary Specialists of Connecticut is the THE ONLY FULL TIME IN-HOUSE MRI facility in the state of Connecticut. Our images are top quality. They are read by a board certified veterinary radiologist.Unlike people, animals need to undergo anesthesia during an MRI. This is to ensure the animal is perfectly still throughout the exam, since any motion can produce blurred or unclear images. While the MRI itself is entirely safe for animals, anesthesia may pose some risks, particularly for animals with pre-existing medical conditions.
To provide the utmost safety for animals, all Companion Imaging locations are embedded within 24/7 referral centers with full veterinary specialty capabilities and emergency resources. Specially trained veterinary and imaging personnel carefully monitor animals throughout the course of the MRI procedure. Should any complications arise under anesthesia, emergency clinicians and resources are immediately available onsite to provide care as needed.  An MRI can identify the true nature of your pet's medical problem, giving you peace of mind and allowing you veterinarian to treat your pet quickly and effectively.

We accept Cash, Check, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express and Care Credit as forms of payment. Additionally, we know that credit for veterinary procedures has become increasingly hard to acquire and Companion Imaging wants to help. Our goal is "Medicine First" and Companion Imaging strives to make this diagnostic tool available for every client. This payment option requires a minimal down payment with the remained collected via ACH withdrawal once a month for the following six months. This option is available without exception, to all clients with no credit check required.
