Description
Elisabeth Burgers and co-authors test a low-field MRI scanner for dog brain imaging in a pilot study from two thousand twenty-six. High-field scanners are costly, which limits access in veterinary care. The portable low-field device was built for human brain scans, and the team asks whether it can serve dogs.
Using twenty-three dog cadavers, they built a scan protocol and compared images with a high-field scanner across twenty-two anatomical features. For spotting fluid buildup in the brain, the low-field scans detected the key fluid spaces with high reliability on one sequence type. Results on the other sequence were less clear. The authors call for live animal studies next.
