Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a specialized imaging technique used to take detailed pictures of the heart. Unlike traditional X-rays, it uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create images without radiation. This allows doctors to assess heart structures, blood flow, and the function of the heart muscles. It's particularly useful for diagnosing conditions like heart diseases, scars from past heart attacks, or congenital heart defects. The procedure is non-invasive, typically painless, and helps medical professionals make informed decisions about treatment and management of heart-related issues.
