The
Section of Cardiovascular Imaging at the Cleveland Clinic is one of the
few centers in the country offering imaging of the cardiovascular system
by radiologists and cardiologists specifically trained in cardiac imaging.
Comprehensive imaging
services provided include plain film radiography, cardiac computed tomography
(CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography
(MRA) for both acquired cardiac disease in adults and congenital heart
disease in children and adults. In addition to maintaining close clinical
working relationships with the Departments of Thoracic and Cardiovascular
Surgery and Cardiovascular Medicine, the section conducts ongoing research
projects to improve clinical care and find cost-effective approaches to
that care.
Specific research interests include evaluation of thoracic aortic pathology, myocardial viability studies, RV (right ventricular) dysplasia, myocardial function in ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathies, and functional evaluation of pre- and post-operative congenital heart disease.
