Cardiac MRI in Glendale, California
Detailed imaging of heart structure, function and blood flow, without radiation. 3 Tesla precision with AI-enhanced sequences, read by fellowship-trained radiologists.
What is a cardiac MRI?
Cardiac MRI images the heart in motion, the muscle, the four chambers, the valves and the blood flowing through them. Unlike CT or nuclear studies it uses no ionizing radiation, and unlike ultrasound it is not limited by body size or lung tissue.
It is often ordered after an echocardiogram when more detail is needed: to measure ejection fraction precisely, to distinguish scar from inflammation, or to characterize a cardiomyopathy. Our Glendale center performs cardiac MRI on a 3 Tesla system with AI-enhanced motion correction.
