MRI Heart
The MRI Heart, from Medintu is a highly specialized imaging technique designed to provide very detailed structural and functional assessments related to the heart.The test is non-invasive; it uses intense magnetic fields combined with radio waves to produce high-resolution images of the heart that are needed to appropriately assess a broad spectrum of cardiovascular disorders, including but not limited to cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, and coronary artery disease. It is therefore critical for heart health monitoring both diagnostically and therapeutically that there be an MRI scan of the heart. The actual diagnostic process is performed by competent personnel acting in a patient-centered environment to provide a comfortable experience. Besides, we have a most competitive heart MRI cost-wise approach and make this high-end cardiac imaging modality within reach of every patient. Because at Medintu we assure you reliable results and comprehensive care with heart health assessment to make informed decisions about your treatment.
What is an MRI Heart Scan?
MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique for an echocardiogram-heart scan that makes detailed pictures of the heart and other features of its surroundings by utilizing the magnetic resonance imaging procedure. The technique assesses blood circulation, as well as anatomic structure of the heart. It has significantly used to help in making diagnoses of cardiomyopathy, coronary artery diseases and disorders of valve functioning conditions without the need to cause any ionizing radiations to the human system involved.
What are the Benefits of an MRI Heart Scan?
- Heart MRI gives excellent resolution images that make possible the accurate measurement of heart anatomy and function, hence, aiding in the diagnosis of several conditions affecting the heart.
- The process does not incorporate any invasive exposure of ionizing radiation; hence, it becomes safer in comparison to other imaging techniques such as CT scans.
- It gives out such information as blood flow and myocardial perfusion besides structural abnormalities, thereby being capable of identifying cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease among other problems.
- Heart MRI can evaluate the response to treatment and progression of disease hence providing the much-needed information towards further management of the patient.
- Utilization of the contrast agent guarantees that the heart tissues and vascular structures are visualized and hence provide a comprehensive assessment.
What are the conditions detected by MRI Heart scan or Cardiac MRI?
MRI of the heart or Cardiac MRI is basically a sophisticated imaging technique and the diagnosis of a vast amount of heart conditions can be made through the structural as well as functional imagery of the heart. Most importantly, this imaging technique is linked to problems with the heart, which makes it easy for physicians to appreciate that larger spectrum of cardiac issues. Most commonly diagnosed conditions by Cardiac MRI are as follows:
- Cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle)
- Heart valve abnormalities (leaks or narrowing of valves
- Disease of the coronary arteries (blockages or narrowing of the heart arteries)
- Congenital structural abnormalities
- Inflammation in the sac around the heart
- Inflammation in the heart muscle
- Tumors and masses in the heart.
- Test Type: MRI Heart
- Preparation:
- Wear a loose-fitting cloth
- Fasting required
- Carry Your ID Proof
- Prescription is mandatory for patients with a doctor’s sign, stamp, with DMC/HMC number; as per PC-PNDT Act
- Reports Time: With in 4-6 hours
- Test Price: Rs.10000
What is an MRI Heart scan?
An MRI Heart scan is an imaging technique that does not enter the body to show images of the structure and functions of the heart by use of magnetic resonance.
Is the MRI Heart scan safe?
Yes, this is a safe procedure; no ionizing radiation will be involved, thus very effective for repeated assessment.
What preparation should I take prior to the MRI Heart scan?
Patients are requested not to consume or drink something few hours prior to scanning. Patients must also inform the physician about the medical conditions as well as medication.
What would happen in the process during the MRI Heart scan?
You would lie down on a table that slid in the machine, and normally the process takes up from 30 to 60 minutes requiring you not to move around.
How long will it take for me to know the result of my MRI Heart Scan?
It usually takes between 24 to 48 hours. A radiologist will write a report on which your doctor can work to discuss with you about the findings.
