Advantages

Heart MRIs stand apart from other cardiac imaging tests by offering the following advantages:

• Accuracy
• Prognostic and diagnostic power
• No surgery
• Pain-free
• No radiation

A Heart MRI helps clinicians to get conclusive, relevant and actionable answers by providing (nearly) all information they need. It provides them with superior diagnostic and prognostic power, without using any radiation. Heart MRIs also offer unique capabilities, such as:

• A virtual heart biopsy, performed on a computer
• A display of the blood flow inside the heart muscle, in high resolution
• Measurements and detailed display of blood flow inside the veins
• Measurements of tissue-specific properties of the heart wall, known to be related to diseases
