Advanced imaging that sees what other tests can’t

Cardiac MRI delivers an incredibly detailed view of the heart’s structure, blood flow, and function, without radiation. It helps detect heart disease earlier, evaluate complex conditions more precisely, and guide the most effective treatment plan for each patient. Today’s advanced MRI systems make it easier than ever to get precise, early insight into your heart health.

  • Provides the most comprehensive view of heart anatomy and tissue health
  • Detects inflammation, scarring, or reduced blood flow early
  • Helps assess heart function and recovery after treatment
  • Safe, painless, and non-invasive—no radiation exposure

A clear view of your heart safely, comfortably, and in remarkable detail

A cardiac MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed, moving images of your heart. During the scan, you’ll lie comfortably on a padded table while the MRI system captures precise pictures of your heart as it beats. In some cases, a contrast agent may be used to enhance certain images, but most exams require no injections. The scan is completely non-invasive and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.

Your doctor uses these high-resolution images to assess how well your heart is pumping, evaluate blood flow, and detect conditions such as scarring, inflammation, or congenital heart defects. The results help guide early diagnosis, treatment decisions, and ongoing care. Throughout the exam, you’ll be in constant communication with your technologist to ensure your comfort and peace of mind.

The clarity that leads to earlier answers

Cardiac MRI provides unmatched insight into how your heart looks and works—helping doctors detect disease earlier, plan treatment with precision, and monitor recovery over time.

Is a cardiac MRI right for you?

Cardiac MRI is recommended for patients who need a deeper look at their heart’s structure, blood flow, or function. It’s often ordered when other tests don’t provide enough detail or when doctors want to better understand the cause of certain heart symptoms or conditions.

A healthcare provider can help determine whether a cardiac MRI is right for you based on your symptoms, history, and diagnostic needs.

  1. Those with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or unexplained fatigue
  2. Those with a known heart condition like cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, or congenital heart disease
  3. Those who need to evaluate heart function or scarring after a heart attack
  4. Those who require detailed assessment before or after treatment for heart disease

The Technician was wonderful! He told me what to expect during the MRI and covered me to stay warm during the process. He is friendly, considerate, and even though I could detect he had worked long hours, it didn’t stop him from putting the patient first. The process was not as long as I thought it would be. So grateful to Simon Med having professionals working for them!
