Our cardioradiology department offers a comprehensive range of modern imaging techniques for detailed cardiovascular assessment.
Cardiac CT is a highly precise, non-invasive modality optimized for high-resolution anatomical visualization of the heart and coronary arteries. It is particularly well suited for the rapid and reliable evaluation of:
- Coronary artery disease, including detection or exclusion of significant stenoses and anatomical risk assessment
- Coronary atherosclerosis through quantification of coronary calcium burden (calcium scoring) for individual risk stratification
- Coronary artery anomalies, including assessment of anomalous origin and course
- Structural heart disease, with detailed evaluation of cardiac chambers and major vessels (e.g. aorta, pulmonary arteries)
- Cardiac valve morphology and perivalvular structures
Thanks to its high spatial resolution and short acquisition times, cardiac CT delivers fast, reliable results and supports efficient diagnostic decision-making.
Cardiac MRI complements CT by enabling advanced functional and tissue-specific diagnostics. It represents the most comprehensive non-invasive imaging modality for assessing cardiac morphology, myocardial function, and tissue characterization. Cardiac MRI allows reliable exclusion or detailed evaluation of:
- Ischemic heart disease and previous myocardial infarction
- Cardiomyopathies (e.g. dilated, hypertrophic, infiltrative)
- Myocarditis and other inflammatory heart diseases
- Impaired cardiac function and regional wall motion abnormalities
- Valvular heart disease with functional quantification
- Congenital heart disease
- Pericardial disease, including pericardial effusion and pericarditis
- Cardiac masses such as tumors or thrombi
By combining functional analysis with advanced tissue characterization, cardiac MRI provides high diagnostic confidence and supports informed therapy planning and reliable follow-up assessment.
Close interdisciplinary collaboration with referring cardiologists and clinics ensures seamless integration of imaging findings into clinical care.
