Overview
Cardiac imaging includes echocardiography CT MRI and nuclear techniques. It evaluates structure function and perfusion. It guides management of cardiac disease.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography uses ultrasound to assess cardiac function. It is portable and provides real time hemodynamic information. It is central to heart failure and valve disease evaluation.
Cardiac CT
Cardiac CT assesses coronary anatomy and calcium scoring. It provides non invasive coronary evaluation. It aids in planning interventions and surgery.
Cardiac MRI
Cardiac MRI offers detailed tissue characterization and function assessment. It is useful for cardiomyopathy and myocarditis evaluation. It complements other cardiac imaging modalities.
