Cardiac Imaging
Cardiac Imaging, also known as Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), is a medical imaging technology for non-nosed assessment of the function and structure of the cardiovascular system with an imaging branch cardiovascular that clarifies cross-sectional imaging studies of the heart and blood vessels system using computed tomography (CT or 'CAT') and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CT and MRI are non-invasive imaging modalities that generate detailed images of structures inside the heart using a strong magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer. It is used in patients with congenital heart disease to diagnose or monitor heart disease and to assess the anatomy and function of the heart. To ensure optimal diagnostic quality in patient care while minimizing patient exposure to ionizing radiation, MUSC uses the latest state-of-the-art imaging instruments.
