Who we are

MRI Vets was founded in 2001 by Patrick Gavin, DVM, DACVR(RO) as a boutique MRI teleradiology practice. Dr. Gavin was one of the early pioneers of MRI for small and large animals at Washington State University and he wrote the seminal textbook Practical Small Animal MRI. Before he passed away in 2019, Dr. Gavin mentored Dr. Sage for five years and imparted his expertise and passion for Musculoskeletal MRI, which carries on as the focus of our practice today. Dr. Gavin’s intense focus on delivering timely and practical radiology consultations through concise and actionable reporting continues to guide us.

MRI Vets is now a much larger team of board-certified radiologists specializing in MRI and CT interpretations for GPs, specialists, and specialty Hospitals. With a deep focus on cross-sectional imaging, and decades of combined experience, we provide precise, actionable diagnoses to support veterinarians, neurologists, and surgeons in delivering the highest standard of care.

Our expertise in neurology, musculoskeletal, and oncology imaging ensures that every report is tailored to the unique needs of specialty cases. Plus, with our true STAT service, you get real-time protocol guidance and rapid turnaround, so you have the answers you need—when you need them
