CARDIAC MRI

What is this?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical test that helps the cardiologist with the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.

A MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the heart. The images can then be examined on a computer.

Detailed MR images allow physicians to better evaluate various parts of the hart and determine the presence of certain diseases that may not be assessed adequately with other imaging methods.
