Cardiac Imaging Techniques

Cardiac imaging techniques are medical tools used to visualize the heart and its functions. Common methods include echocardiography (ultrasound that shows heart motion), cardiac MRI (magnetic imaging for detailed pictures), and CT scans (X-ray imaging for 3D views). These techniques help doctors diagnose heart conditions, assess heart health, and guide treatment plans. By capturing images of the heart's structure and blood flow, they allow for early detection of issues like blockages or abnormalities, ultimately improving patient care.
