A new heart scan is faster and has lower radiation exposure than MRI and invasive angiography, according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging. Researchers compared three ...

A new type of imaging technique using an MRI device can detect most diseased coronary arteries, potentially sparing many heart patients a more invasive, expensive and uncomfortable test, researchers ...

(UPDATED) An imaging-guided strategy with CT angiography (CTA) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) reduces the rate of invasive angiography compared with usual care in patients who have acute ...

Noninvasive imaging of carotid artery plaque with MRI can accurately predict future cardiovascular events like strokes and heart attacks in people without a history of cardiovascular disease, ...

The "gold standard" for detection of CAD remains invasive angiography with vessel-selective contrast injection of the coronary arteries. Both spatial (0.2 mm) and temporal (5 ms) resolution of the ...

Doctors use cardiac imaging to diagnose many types of heart disease and heart problems, including cardiovascular disease (which includes stroke and high blood pressure) and coronary heart disease.

Doctors may use an MRI scan to detect a brain aneurysm in specific cases. MRI scans and other imaging techniques can help detect a brain aneurysm and reveal its shape and precise location. A brain ...
