MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging.
MRI scans produce pictures of your body by using a strong magnetic field and radio frequency pulses. A cardiac MRI scan produces images of the heart muscle and valves and is used to assess both its structure and function.
A cardiac MRI scan is used to diagnose a wide range of heart conditions, including congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy and heart valve disease.
A cardiac MRI scan takes around 90 minutes.
The results will be available within 3 working days of your scan and will be sent to your referring clinician.
