Two dogs participate in a MRI training session, in which they learn how to remain still while in the machine.

The trained dogs sit around the MRI scanner and listen to their trainer.

A dog waits to be measured in the MRI machine as part of the study. The dog can pull out of the machine at any time.

A dog, named Barack, is lying on the MRI scanner bed during the study.
