Capturing Clarity: Advanced Cardiac Imaging

The latest imaging technologies are essential to establishing the right diagnosis – and providing the correct treatment – when time is of the essence. Cardiologists and radiologists at the Geisinger Heart & Vascular Institute collaborate to provide a state-of-the-art imaging program that uses the most advanced equipment. Today, CT and MRI are evaluated as possible alternatives to procedures like catheterization, and the use of MRI frequently helps physicians plan operations and improves surgical outcomes.

The Geisinger Heart & Vascular Institute’s investment in the latest technology benefits patients through improved screening capabilities, resulting in potentially fewer invasive procedures.
