    MRI Scanning

     

    We have access to a mobile MRI unit on a regular basis at our Armley surgery. If you have any cases which you think might benefit from MRI scanning with or without input from our surgeons and medics then we would be more than happy to discuss them and the practical aspects of arranging a scan with you.

    Please just ring the Thornbury Hospital on 01274 663301 or email us on yorkshirevetsreferral@gmail.com
