A new heart scan is faster and has lower radiation exposure than MRI and invasive angiography, according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging. Researchers compared three ...

A new type of imaging technique using an MRI device can detect most diseased coronary arteries, potentially sparing many heart patients a more invasive, expensive and uncomfortable test, researchers ...

Stress CMR significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy for chest pain without obstructive coronary artery disease, identifying microvascular angina often missed in standard angiography. The CorCMR ...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved from an effective research tool into a clinically proven, safe and comprehensive imaging modality. It provides anatomic and functional ...

Magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly used to avoid the radiation used in computed tomographic scanning. Gadolinium contrast medium allows vascular imaging without the nephrotoxic effects ...

London: A new testing protocol identifies patients whose chest pain is heart-related even though their main heart arteries look normal during typical exams, according to results of a new study. During ...

Patterns of persistent risk often emerge in these allegations. One common theme is test selection: A surprising number of medical malpractice lawsuits stem from improper requests for imaging.

Doctors use cardiac imaging to diagnose many types of heart disease and heart problems, including cardiovascular disease (which includes stroke and high blood pressure) and coronary heart disease.

Doctors may use an MRI scan to detect a brain aneurysm in specific cases. MRI scans and other imaging techniques can help detect a brain aneurysm and reveal its shape and precise location. A brain ...
