Neurology

WVRC is Dedicated to Delivering the Most Advanced Diagnostic Tools Available in Veterinary Medicine, to Help Your Veterinarian Provide the Best Care for Your Pet

Our highly trained neurology specialist, Dr. Belinda Comito, can provide unparalleled care because WVRC is the only private veterinary specialty practice in WIsconsin with both high field MRI and CT capabilities onsite, providing rapid, accurate diagnoses for thorough, definitive treatment. 

What is MRI?

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) utilizes powerful magnets and radio waves to generate images from the hydrogen protons in the body. Unlike radiographs or CT scans, MRI’s are safe with no concern of radiation exposure.

What is High-Field MRI?

The images produced by a high-field MRI are much faster exams, with improved diagnostic quality. The difference is often very striking - broad clinical experience and many studies have demonstrated the superiority of high-field MRI over veterinary-based open MRI systems.

What Are the Indications for MRI?

MRI provides exceptional soft tissue detail, making it extremely useful in imaging the nervous system, joints, cardiovascular structures, and the abdominal organs. It is particularly useful in situations where other diagnostic tests have failed to give a diagnosis, a client is hesitant to pursue invasive procedures, or an owner needs an accurate diagnosis when making difficult decisions regarding the care of their pet.

Indications

• Seizure Disorders
• Patients with Vestibular Symptoms
• Neck or Back Pain
• Spinal Disease or Trauma
• Paresis / Ataxia
• Lameness
