Imaging Overview
Cardiovascular imaging includes CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Each modality provides unique insights. Students learn how to select appropriate techniques.
CT and MRI
CT evaluates coronary arteries and vascular structures. MRI assesses function and tissue composition. Students explore clinical applications.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound provides real time evaluation of heart function. It is widely used for screening and diagnosis. Students learn standard echocardiographic views.
Nuclear Medicine
