The expanison of MRI usage and demand continue to increase as is seen by the following:
Due to its high spatial resolution and excellent tissue contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the most commonly used imaging method to evaluate joints. Most musculoskeletal MRI is performed using 2D fast spin–echo sequences.
MRI is rapidly becoming the diagnostic tool of choice by physcians and also for the continued well-being and comfort of patients. Now, the field expands into Veterinarian industry as well. This allows for MRI centers to be more innovative with their inventory of scans, especially in rural provider areas.
Virginia Tech's Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center (EMC) has announced that they are now able to offer high field MRI service for horses. A mobile high field MRI is scheduled to the clinic in Leesburg, Va., about once a month, according to a report on the EMC website. The high field MRI will be offered in addition to the low field MRI already offered by the clinic.
High field MRIs provide veterinarians with a higher resolution image needed to diagnose certain problems. Unlike low field MRIs that are performed in a standing horse, general anesthesia is required for high field MRIs to aid in capturing the higher quality image. Additionally, high field MRIs provide the opportunity for examining areas that are difficult (or impossible) to image in a standing horse, such as the upper portions of the limbs.
High field MRIs at the EMC will be performed on an outpatient basis, and the total cost for the procedure is around $2,400.
Unique MRI solution providers such as Medical Billing Assistance, Inc (MDBL:OTCQB/BB) will continue to lead the field in growth opportunites due to the provision of innovative solutions for MRI inventory progression and billing modifications both of which are designed to increase profitability for MRI centers.
