Let us handle all the details

If you are interested in hosting a Companion Imaging center at your referral hospital, get in touch with us and we will be happy to discuss the opportunity with you. In the meantime, a typical process for bringing Companion Imaging to a host site is included below.

Once an agreement has been established, Companion Imaging will:

• Select and prepare an area at your hospital that is suitable for accommodating the MRI scanning equipment. (Note: may be permanent or mobile depending on available space at your facility.)
• Acquire a high-field MRI scanner (1.0-1.5 Tesla) and MRI-compatible anesthesia and monitoring units. We will also arrange for installation of all equipment, as well as construction associated with implementing the MRI center.
• Secure a service agreement with a leading vendor to maintain the MRI scanner and related equipment.
• Acquire and maintain appropriate liability and casualty insurance to adhere to applicable state and local regulations. 
• Provide access to multiple board-certified veterinary radiologists to interpret MRI results. We will also implement a Web-based distribution system for the transmission of MRI images to radiologists and referring veterinarians.
• Provide MRI technologists to administer MRI scans. These individuals receive specialized training at an existing Companion Imaging center.
• Offer several different payment options, including all major credit cards and CareCredit^®, the leading payment option for veterinary practices.
• Provide proven marketing and educational programs to stimulate referrals among area veterinary practices. These will include no-cost training classes that will educate regional veterinarians about the diagnostic advantages of using MRI and how to refer to the Companion Imaging center.

We only require that a licensed veterinarian from your facility is available to oversee patient anesthesia.
