Advanced diagnostic heart images

Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Plano Outpatient Services offers imaging, including cardiovascular CT and cardiac MRI, on an outpatient basis for

Cardiovascular CT imaging services

  • Coronary CT angiography for evaluation of coronary arteries and coronary bypass grafts
  • CT visceral adiposity screening
  • 3D CT angiography of the heart for structural heart disease evaluation and procedural planning
  • 4D CT angiography of the heart for valvular heart disease evaluation and procedural planning
  • Vascular CT angiography (carotid arteries, aorta, renal arteries and peripheral arteries)
  • Imágenes de proyección de máxima intensidad (MIP) semiautomatizadas

A picture of your heart in less than a second

That’s exactly what new CT technology delivers.

In 0.28 seconds, the Revolution CT acquires your entire cardiac data set, allowing physicians to make faster clinical decisions with a higher degree of accuracy than before. The scanner's advanced technology virtually "freezes" the heart and coronary arteries, producing images of outstanding quality.

Additional benefits of this kind of heart imaging include:

  • Significantly reduced radiation dose
  • Noise reduction as a result of whisper drive technology

Cardiac MRI services

  • Cardiac morphology, function and viability
  • Cardiomyopathy evaluation
  • General full-body MRI
  • Velocity flow mapping for the assessment of valvular heart disease
