Cardiac MRI Indications

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers new levels of excellence in the diagnosis and management of cardiac care. This minimally invasive procedure, does not involve radiation, and delivers unparalleled image
quality. This test provides accurate assessment of cardiac masses,
visualization of congenital abnormalities, evaluation of ventricular and
valvular function, characterization of the aorta and pulmonary veins,
and is becoming recognized as a "gold standard" for myocardial viability.

Cardiac MRI can aid in the treatment of your patients with the following indications:

  • Coronary artery disease
  • Cardiac masses and thrombi
  • Pericardial abnormalities
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Congenital cardiac disease
  • Arrhythmia
