The Iams Company has built the second Iams Pet Imaging Center on the campus of North Carolina State University (NCSU).
The new center changes the way veterinary students at the NCSU Veterinary School are taught to diagnose disease, in addition to being a valuable diagnostic tool for area veterinarians.
Iams has committed to provide free MRI services to 17 search and rescue dogs participating in some of our nation's worst tragedies. Each year, these dogs receive scans at an Iams Pet Imaging Center. The five-year study continues through 2007 with scans at the IPIC facilities near Washington DC, or Raleigh, North Carolina, on the campus of North Carolina State University.
What is an MRI?
MRI is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses magnetic energy and radio waves to create detailed images of tissue. With this technology, veterinarians now can more accurately determine the cause and location of diseases in pets and treat them more efficiently and effectively. MRI identifies conditions such as cancer and orthopedic injuries without invasive exploratory surgery that can sometimes be required.
