Our complete menu of diagnostic services includes:

• CT scan: computed tomography (CT) an imaging method that uses x-rays to create cross-sectional pictures of the body. The two types that we primarily employ are:
• Multi-slice CT imaging; and
• Non-invasive coronary artery and cardiac function tests.
• MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive way to take pictures of the body. Unlike x-rays and computed tomographic (CT) scans which use radiation, MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves. We use MRI to assess myocardial (heart muscle) function and viability/perfusion.
• Nuclear ventriculography: a test that uses radioactive materials called tracers to make heart chambers and blood vessels visible. The procedure is non-invasive, so the heart structures are not touched by instruments. We use nuclear ventriculography in stress testing to assess myocardial (heart muscle) function and viability/perfusion.
• Echocardiogram: a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart. The picture is much more detailed than an x-ray image and involves no radiation exposure. We use nuclear echocardiography in stress testing to assess myocardial (heart muscle) function and viability/perfusion.
• Non-invasive vascular: diagnostic studies which utilize ultrasonic Doppler and physiologic principles to assess irregularities in blood flow in arterial and venous systems in the upper and lower extremities. The display may be a two-dimensional image with spectral analysis and color flow or a plethysmographic recording that allows for quantitative analysis.
• Assessment of peripheral vascular disease, heart function, heart failure, heart valve function, detecting cardiac ischemia and atherosclerosis.
• Optimizing non-invasive imaging for pre-op valve assessment, and assessing myocardial viability.
