MR/CT scan for an elderly cat in DFW

I have an old cat (18) which has been suffering from seizures over the last year. Initially they were once a month and now they are happening daily, sometimes 2-3 times. I have seen 2 vets and they say that is either a brain tumor or some kind of cat dementia. The only way to know for sure would be to have an MR or CT scan done. Does anyone know a place with reasonable prices in DFW/North Texas or even Oklahoma? If someone has been on a similar situation with an elderly dog or cat, I'd love to know your experience, if you had that scan done and found a vet to do surgery. Many thanks in advance

Location Found: 10000 Block Checota Dr, Dallas TX 75217

Meet Cota, a charming 2-year-old pup with a gentle spirit! This happy boy has a laid-back personality that our volunteers have observed during his time at the shelter. From what we've seen, Cota tends to be social with people and usually displays good manners. While he may be a bit anxious in new situations, he often warms up given some time and patience. In playgroup, Cota typically exhibits a dainty and gentle play style, enjoying light social interactions with other dogs once he feels comfortable.

PLAYGROUP PG1 - SOCIAL DG - DAINTY & GENTLE On 10/14/24 Brought to the yard in a cart as he wasn't confident on the leash at this time. Anxious in the beginning, needing some time to warm up to the others before feeling comfortable. He would pace the yard and attempt to jump the fence. He settled down after awhile and would start to interact with the other dogs in the yard, socializing with them briefly.
