MRI fundraising campaign off to a great start

Meet Mr. Bear: One of thousands of patients that has been helped because of MRI
After noticing an odd lump on his dog’s head in the spring of 2013, Joel Greenhalgh of British Columbia, Canada, took Mr. Bear, a then 11-year-old Australian Sheppard-Rottweiler mix, to his local veterinarian. At first the advice was to watch and see, but when it didn’t go away, his veterinarian took a biopsy. Mr. Bear had cancer.
More than a machine. To our patients, MRI is a life saver.
After 18 years of dedicated service to our patients, the lifespan of our MRI machine is quickly approaching its end.
As we look to the future of patient care, a new MRI cannot wait.

A new gamma camera makes lameness diagnoses easier
The exact cause of lameness in horses can sometimes be difficult to find. But thanks to a generous donor, the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine’s new gamma camera will make diagnosis easier.
“The gamma camera is essential for equine orthopedic lameness,” says Dr. Kelly Farnsworth assistant professor in WSU’s Veterinary Clinical Sciences department. “Localized lameness is difficult to radiograph.”
