Cardiovascular Imaging

A strong link connects radiology to cardiology at the U’s Cardiovascular Center. Specialist and sub-specialists whose research and clinical care range from repairing patent foramen ovales (PFOs) to curing atrial fibrillation, can review a case and provide feedback that helps ensure a safety net of vigilant and well-advised care for the patient.

Our experience and available cardiac imaging techniques (e.g., ultrasound, nuclear, MRI, CT) allows us to help select the best test for a specific patient. If need be, we can use more than one imaging modality to provide a comprehensive diagnosis without rescheduling a patient or shuttling them elsewhere.

Areas of Service:

Cardiac MRI
Coronary Calcium Score CT
Cardiac CTA
Echocardiography
Nuclear Cardiology
Vascular Ultrasound
