A new heart scan is faster and has lower radiation exposure than MRI and invasive angiography, according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging. Researchers compared three ...

A new type of imaging technique using an MRI device can detect most diseased coronary arteries, potentially sparing many heart patients a more invasive, expensive and uncomfortable test, researchers ...

Patterns of persistent risk often emerge in these allegations. One common theme is test selection: A surprising number of medical malpractice lawsuits stem from improper requests for imaging.

Stress CMR significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy for chest pain without obstructive coronary artery disease, identifying microvascular angina often missed in standard angiography. The CorCMR ...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved from an effective research tool into a clinically proven, safe and comprehensive imaging modality. It provides anatomic and functional ...

Doctors use cardiac imaging to diagnose many types of heart disease and heart problems, including cardiovascular disease (which includes stroke and high blood pressure) and coronary heart disease.

Magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly used to avoid the radiation used in computed tomographic scanning. Gadolinium contrast medium allows vascular imaging without the nephrotoxic effects ...
