A cardiac MRI scan allows cardiologists to view exceptionally detailed images of your internal organs, including your heart structure and blood vessels. It helps to see how your heart is functioning and will assist your doctor in gaining a better understanding of any medical problems. The images will also assist in determining the best possible treatment options for people with heart problems.
MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. It allows you to take pictures of your body by using a strong magnetic field and radio frequency pulses. A cardiac MRI scan produces images of the heart muscle and valves and is used to assess both its structure and function. Unlike X-Ray, MRI scanning does not use ionising radiation and therefore is not harmful.
A cardiac MRI scan is used to diagnose a wide range of heart conditions and can diagnose a variety of conditions related to the heart. The scan can:
Assess the structure and function of your heart chambers, valves, and major blood vessels.
Diagnose cardiovascular problems such as cancers, tumours and inflammatory conditions.
Detect the blockage of blood vessels.
Diagnose conditions including Heart valve abnormalities, Congenital heart disease (CHD) or congenital heart defects, Cardiomyopathy (enlarged or thickened heart muscle), and Cardiac tumours or masses in the heart.
Provide an expert diagnosis and evaluation of any cardiac abnormality, including those involving your heart muscle.
