Cardiac MRI is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the heart’s structures (anatomy) and functioning.
It is one of the more popular diagnostic tools because it does not involve the use of X-rays. Instead, a large, cylindrical magnet is passed over the area of the body to be monitored.
Cardiac MRI is most frequently used in patients who have congenital heart disease or to detect or monitor cardiac or coronary artery disease. Can also be used to diagnose other cardiovascular issues, such as:
It reveals the size of the heart’s chambers, any damage or scarring suffered after a heart attack, build-ups of plaque, or blood vessel obstructions.
If you are experiencing any heart-related symptoms or have an existing condition, a cardiologist may recommend that you have a cardiac MRI to help them get a better understanding of your condition and treatment needs.
The MRI exam takes between thirty minutes to an hour. You will receive an injection of contrast dye beforehand, allowing for a clearer picture.
The procedure is painless, although it can be uncomfortable to remain still for the imaging. In some cases, the enclosed nature of the scanner can cause anxiety, in which case mild sedation can be arranged.
Our cardiology specialists are here to help you deal with any existing conditions, or to help you get a clear diagnosis if you are experiencing symptoms.
