Affordable
A few hundred per scan instead of a few thousand — at least three times more affordable overall.

AgileVet brings portable, diagnostic soft-tissue MRI to veterinary hospitals and large veterinary centres — no shielded suite, no cryogens, and no capital purchase.
First units expected to be available to test towards the end of 2027. Join the list and you will hear before anyone else.

The real value of AgileVet
Built for hospitals and large veterinary centres, where a radiologist can read the study. It changes five things about how MRI fits there.
No capital expense
A subscription — hardware, updates and support included. No seven-figure purchase.
No rooming needed
No shielded suite, no structural build-out — it runs in the room you already have.
Easy to operate
No specialised MRI operator to recruit — the radiologist runs the study at the press of a button.
Open architecture
The patient stays easy to reach, with anaesthesia and monitoring right at the magnet.
Every one of them follows from the magnet.
Your hands never leave the patient.
The open C-arm design keeps the patient visible and physically reachable through the whole study — anaesthesia lines and monitoring stay exactly where your team needs them.
Position and pad the patient from any side
Standard anaesthesia equipment fits at the scanner
No cryogens, helium contracts or shielded room
Why is veterinary MRI so rare?
Not because patients don’t need it — because four practical barriers stand between a sick animal and a scan. Each one is a design target for AgileVet.
The scan costs thousands
Today an MRI study can cost a pet owner several thousand dollars all-in, and many clients simply decline. AgileVet targets a scan cost of a few hundred instead.
The machine costs millions
A conventional system is a six- to seven-figure purchase before the room is even built. AgileVet replaces the purchase with a pay-as-you-go subscription.
The room is a building project
Shielded suites, cryogen plumbing and structural reinforcement turn an installation into a construction project. AgileVet is designed to run in a standard room on a standard outlet.
The operator is a specialist
Conventional MRI needs a trained technician most veterinary teams don’t have. AgileVet is push-button — the radiologist runs the study directly.
Remove those four barriers and the arithmetic flips: MRI stops being a rare, referred event and becomes a study your hospital runs in-house, the same day it is indicated.

Straight answers
Does the animal need to be anaesthetised?
Yes. As with any MRI, the patient must remain completely still, so companion animals are anaesthetised for the scan — AgileVet is designed to work with your standard anaesthesia equipment and monitoring sensors. What changes is everything around that: the open architecture keeps the patient visible and physically reachable throughout, a focused protocol targets roughly fifteen minutes rather than the forty-five-plus typical at referral, and the episode happens once, in your own building, instead of weeks later at a second site.
Do I need a shielded room or Faraday cage?
No. Conventional MRI needs copper shielding and structural retrofitting because it depends on a perfectly uniform field. AgileVet’s magnet architecture and reconstruction algorithms are designed to tolerate an ordinary clinical environment, so the system is intended to run in a standard room on a standard power outlet.
Who interprets the scans?
Your radiologist. AgileVet is designed for veterinary hospitals and large centres that already have a radiologist to read the study — and the workflow is simple enough that the radiologist can also run the scan directly, at the press of a button. For sites without a radiologist on staff, remote teleradiology reads can be included as part of the plan.
When can I actually get one?
We expect the first units to be available to test towards the end of 2027, and we would rather tell you that plainly than imply anything sooner. The veterinary configuration is in development and the specifications on this site are design goals, not measured performance. What you can do today is join the early-access list — the people on it hear first, and the ones who tell us what they need are the ones shaping species range, patient sizes and protocols while those are still open.
What happens if I leave my email?
A person reads it — not an autoresponder. You go on a short list that gets a few updates a year and first notice when there is something real to see or test. We do not sell or share the list, and every email carries an unsubscribe link. If you are a clinician, expect one question back: what would this have to do to be useful in your building?
Be first to put MRI in your own building.
The specification is still open. Leave your address and you will hear first — and tell us what the machine has to do, and that goes into the build.
