Prevention is an intimate friend. Timely diagnosis of heart attacks.
Scanning the heart with the Magnetic Resonance (MRI) is the most precise and non-invasive diagnostic technique. The patient has no exposure to ionizing radiation (X rays or Gamma rays) and this method has no short term or long term harmful reactions. The heart MRI has limitless access to the rib cage because of the ability of multilevel imaging.
- Detailed representation of the anatomy of the heart and the large vessels.
- It conducts a reliable functional study of the heart, with synchronous calculation of the amount of haemodynamic characteristics.
- Allows the study of coronary vessels.
- Studies the mobility, the diffusion and viability of the myocardium on congenital or acquired diseases.
- In patients with a previous heart attack the heart MRI with the administration of a contrast agent (gadolinium) shows the extent of the heart attack even if this concerns only endocardial layers.
Moreover, because of its reliability and complete evaluation of the anatomy and functionality, the heart MRI has a special place in the examination of children and abults with congenital disease.
