MRI, NUCLEAR AND OTHER RADIOLOGICAL IMAGING STUDIES OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

MRI SCAN CONSISTS OF 2 PARTS

-EXTERNAL SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS

-VARIOUS COILS

BENEFITS OF MRI MRI IS A NONINVASIVE IMAGING TECHNIQUE THAT

DOES NOT INVOLVE EXPOSURE TO IONIZING RADIATION.

EVALUATE HEART MUSCLE ABNORMALITY DIAGNOSING CARDIAC ANATOMICAL ANOMALIES

FUNCTIONAL ABNORMALITIES TUMORS AND CONDITIONS RELATED TO DECREASED BLOOD FLOW.

EVALUATE BOTH THE STRUCTURE OF AN ORGAN AND HOW IT IS WORKING.

DISCOVERY OF ABNORMALITIES THAT MIGHT BE OBSCURED BY BONE WITH OTHER IMAGING METHODS.

THE CONTRAST MATERIAL USED IN MRI EXAMS IS LESS LIKELY TO PRODUCE AN ALLERGIC REACTION THAN THE IODINE-BASED CONTRAST MATERIALS
