Heart MRI

A Heart MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging of the heart, is a medical imaging technique that uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. It helps doctors assess heart conditions, such as diseases of the heart muscle, valve problems, and blood flow issues. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, a Heart MRI does not involve radiation. The procedure is non-invasive, typically requiring the patient to lie still in a large tube-shaped machine while images are captured, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of heart health.
