Our cardiac imaging radiologists have extensive training and experience in reading images of the heart and surrounding areas. At Radiology & Imaging, we prefer to have our radiologists as actively involved as possible in diagnosing and considering treatment options. It depends on the health issue, the referring physician and the patient.
The cardiac imaging radiologist’s role varies. Doctors use cardiac MRI to detect or monitor cardiac disease. Collaborating With the Patient and Referring Physician Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Cardiac (Heart) Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the structures within and around the heart.
HEART IMAGING SERIES
And over time, a series of cardiac images can help track the results of treatment or the progression of disease. Cardiac imaging also helps determine damage from a myocardial infarction or heart attack. Many patients who use this subspecialty have unexplained chest pain or chest pain when exercising (angina). Using imaging to prevent, diagnose and treat heart disease is a leading priority. Heart disease is the leading killer in the US.
Cardiac imaging radiologists frequently work with other physicians including: We strive to make communication clear and complete among the patient, the patient’s personal physician and every other physician who may be involved with the patient. Our cardiac imaging subspecialists work closely with other physicians and with the patient. Cardiac Imaging ServicesĬardiac MRI Working Together With Other Physicians This leads to more precise information and more accurate diagnoses. At Radiology & Imaging, our cardiac imaging subspecialists can superimpose views of the heart from two separate and different types of studies. These radiologists mainly use computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to produce special views of the heart. Physicians who subspecialize in cardiac imaging help diagnose and treat heart issues.
