Since the development of a new form of high-speed MRI, images of the heart can be captured in real time. These images facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of cardiac health. We now have the ability to display the function, the structure, and the blood flow of the heart. Cardiovascular MRI can identify damage from a heart attack, diagnose certain congenital cardiovascular defects, and evaluate disease of the cardiac blood vessels.

CVMR uses no ionizing radiation (x-ray) or invasive interventional procedures, and it also displays a sufficiently high-quality image of the affected vascular region.

Metro MRI provides cardiovascular imaging at an Illinois and an Iowa location. Our equipment, utilizes strong gradient coils on the 1.5T Philips MRI scanner and the 1.5T Siemens MRI scanner, specialized phased-array radiofrequency coils, and the most sophisticated cardiovascular imaging software. Our center's staff, extensively trained in this highly specialized field, helps to build our reputation for quality imaging and accurate results.

As the leading MR facility in the Quad City area devoted to cardiovascular MRI, we are able to provide patients and referring physicians with high-quality services to meet their imaging needs. Thanks to Metro's commitment to excellence, we are able to offer the latest techniques for using MRI.
