Cardiovascular Imaging Program
State-of-the-art imaging for better CVD diagnosis and treatment
Cardiovascular imaging uses the most advanced technology available to capture images of the heart, arteries and blood vessels in order to better diagnose cardiovascular disease. The Lankenau Heart Institute not only uses state-of-the-art, high resolution imaging tools such as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), computed tomography (CT) and PET scanners, but also focuses on the development of novel, technologies and diagnostic and non-invasive tests.
These various imaging technologies allow physicians to make accurate diagnoses and determine the appropriate treatment plan to ensure patient safety. These specialists are referred to as "imaging physicians" because they determine the most appropriate way to image or study the structure and function of the heart in order to diagnose many types of heart disease.
Our cardiovascular imaging services include:
- Cardiac clearance
- Cardiac MRI
- Echocardiograms (cardiac ultrasound)
- Electrocardiograms (EKG)
- Cardiac CT Angiography
- Coronary calcium score
- HeartFlow FFRct analysis
- Outpatient cardiac monitoring (including holter, telemetry and event recorders)
