3T MRI CARDIAC WITH CONTRAST

Description

3T MRI CARDIAC WITH CONTRAST is a sophisticated cardiac imaging technique that combines the high-resolution capabilities of 3 Tesla MRI with the enhanced tissue differentiation provided by contrast agents. This procedure involves injecting a gadolinium-based contrast medium, which helps highlight blood flow within the heart and coronary arteries. The 3T MRI offers superior image quality and spatial resolution compared to lower-field strength machines. This combination allows for detailed assessment of cardiac structure, function, perfusion, and tissue viability. It’s particularly effective in evaluating coronary artery disease, detecting myocardial infarction and scar tissue, assessing cardiac masses, and characterizing cardiomyopathies. The contrast-enhanced images provide crucial information about myocardial perfusion and delayed enhancement patterns, aiding in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease and other cardiac pathologies.
