About this service

Scope: Advanced Diagnostic Cardiac Imaging encompassing multiple state-of-the-art modalities. Techniques included: 1. Echocardiography: Variants (Transthoracic TTE, Transesophageal TEE, Pharmacological/Exercise Stress Echo), Physical Principle (ultrasound waves ranging 2-7 MHz), Core Metrics (Ejection Fraction EF, chamber volumetry, hemodynamics and valvular integrity). 2. Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA): Hardware (High-resolution CT scanners, 64-slice or superior, utilizing precise ECG-gating), Contrast Media (Non-ionic iodinated contrast), Diagnostic Output (Quantification of arterial calcium scoring, precise luminal stenosis evaluation, characterization of atherosclerotic plaques). 3. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR): Magnetic Field Strength (1.5T or 3T systems employing specialized cardiac coils), Pulse Sequences (Cine imaging, Late Gadolinium Enhancement LGE, specific T1/T2 myocardial mapping, dynamic Perfusion studies), Diagnostic Focus (Myocardial scarring, acute/chronic inflammation, intricate myocardial diseases). 4. Nuclear Cardiology: Radiotracers (Technetium-99m, Thallium-201, Rubidium-82), Imaging Modalities (SPECT, PET targeting myocardial perfusion and localized metabolism). Clinical Indications: Comprehensive evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD), congestive heart failure, valvular pathologies, cardiomyopathies, and congenital structural heart anomalies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• What is the purpose of Calcium Scoring?

This is a quick scan used to assess the risk of experiencing heart attacks in the future.

• Why might I be asked to take medication like beta-blockers before the scan?

Certain medications may be requested to slow the heart rate, which helps ensure the captured images are clear.

• Why is the speed of the CT device important for heart imaging?

Advanced devices, such as those with 128 slices or more, are necessary to capture clear images while the heart is beating.

• What are the primary differences in focus between Cardiac CT and Cardiac MRI?

Cardiac CT scans primarily focus on the coronary arteries and calcifications. In contrast, Cardiac MRI is used to evaluate heart muscle strength, valves, and fibrosis.

• How long does a cardiac imaging scan typically take?

The duration depends on the technique; a Cardiac CT scan is very short and takes only a few seconds, while a Cardiac MRI scan is longer, lasting between 45 and 60 minutes.

• What types of echocardiography are available in diagnostic cardiac imaging?

Echocardiography techniques include Transthoracic (TTE), Transesophageal (TEE), and Stress Echocardiography, all of which utilize ultrasound waves.
