Heart screening and imaging

Our advanced cardiac imaging specialists use state-of-the-art, high-resolution imaging technology such as echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and coronary CT angiography to help screen, diagnose and treat heart disease faster, and with greater precision. These techniques are noninvasive and use real-time images of the heart during the cardiac cycle, providing a more in-depth view of the heart structure.

Within our network, we have one of the few board-certified advanced imaging cardiologists in Tennessee. We also have specialists who participate in continuous training and research to stay at the forefront of advanced cardiac imaging. 

Some of the heart screening and imaging services we provide include:

• 3D imaging technology
• Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)
• Coronary CT angiography
• Echocardiogram
• Multigated acquisition scan (MUGA)
• Radionuclide angiography (RNA)

At Parkridge Health System, we believe collaboration is the best way to detect and treat heart disease early. That's why our team of highly skilled and experienced advanced cardiac imaging cardiologists and radiologists work together with your doctor to understand your heart health and help determine the best treatment plan for your condition.

Cardiac MRI is one of the advanced heart imaging options we provide to screen and diagnose heart disease. There are many benefits to using MRIs, including:

• Accurate myocardial viability assessments of myocardial scar burden
• A helpful way to determine the extent of damage caused by heart attack
• A helpful way to distinguish between normal and abnormal heart functions
• A less invasive approach
• More precision when differentiating healthy and abnormal heart tissue
• No radiation exposure
