Advanced Radiology Services for Cardiac Care

Through innovative technology and patient-centered care, we’re shaping the future of cardiovascular health, where every beat matters.

 

 

Carotid US

Carotid US

Carotid ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of the carotid arteries in the neck which carry blood from the heart to the brain. It is most frequently used to screen patients for blockage or narrowing of the carotid arteries which may increase the risk of stroke.

CT Coronary Calcified Plaque Scoring

CT Coronary Calcified Plaque Scoring

A simple, non-invasive test that measures the amount of calcium in your heart’s arteries. This specialized CT scan can help determine your risk of heart disease and heart attack.

Ultrasound Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)

Ultrasound Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)

A diagnostic imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create comprehensive images of the heart.

Nuclear Medicine Stress Test

Nuclear Medicine Stress Test

Also known as a myocardial perfusion scan, this test measures blood flow through the heart’s arteries, and can help diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD).

Cardiac MRI

Cardiac MRI

A noninvasive test that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the structures within and around the heart.

Coronary CTA (CCTA)

Coronary CTA (CCTA)

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) provides highly detailed images of the coronary arteries and anatomical data about the structure of the arteries and heart. It helps to determine if plaque buildup has narrowed the coronary arteries, which may cause chest pain or a heart attack.

CCTA with FFR-CT

CCTA with FFR-CT

Adding fractional flow reserve (FFR) to a CCTA allows radiologists to offer a more precise evaluation of the severity of CAD.

CCTA with AI Plaque Analysis

CCTA with AI Plaque Analysis

This technology uses machine learning software (artificial intelligence) to analyze images from a standard CCTA in order to quantify and characterize plaque in the arteries.

MUGA Heart Scan

MUGA Heart Scan

A multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan creates video images that show whether the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart are pumping blood properly. MUGA uses intravenous material (radiotracers) to show how blood moves through the heart. MUGA can be used to check for pre-existing cardiac conditions prior to chemotherapy, or after treatment to assess possible side effects.

Let's have a heart to heart.
