Cardiac Imaging

Cardiac imaging modalities are available in this hospital for cardio-oncology patients, whether they are outpatients or inpatients.

Cardiac Magnetography (CMR)

Cardiac Magnetography (CMR) employs powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. It provides a comprehensive view, capturing both anatomical and functional aspects, aiding in the diagnosis and assessment of various heart conditions. CMR is particularly valuable for detecting abnormalities, evaluating cardiac function, and guiding treatment decisions. Its non-invasive nature makes it a preferred choice for thorough cardiovascular evaluations.

Cardiac Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)

Cardiac Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is a specialized form of SPECT imaging focused on the heart. It involves injecting a radioactive tracer to assess blood flow and myocardial perfusion. This technique aids in detecting abnormalities in the heart’s blood supply, helping diagnose conditions like coronary artery disease. Cardiac SPECT provides valuable insights into the functional aspects of the heart, contributing to comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations.

Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans use a radioactive tracer to create detailed images of the heart’s metabolic activity. This imaging technique provides information on blood flow, glucose metabolism, and overall cardiac function. Cardiac PET scans are valuable for assessing myocardial viability, detecting abnormalities, and aiding in the diagnosis and management of various heart conditions. Their ability to offer both anatomical and functional insights makes them a powerful tool in cardiovascular medicine.

Cardiac CT Angiography

Cardiac CT Angiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that utilizes X-rays to capture detailed images of the heart and blood vessels. It provides high-resolution, three-dimensional views of coronary arteries, aiding in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular conditions. This imaging modality is effective in detecting blockages, assessing plaque buildup, and evaluating overall cardiac anatomy. Cardiac CT angiography plays a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions and interventions for heart-related issues.
