Cardiovascular Imaging

Offering unprecedented non-invasive diagnostic capabilities, the HVI has acquired some of the most advanced cardiac diagnostic and imaging technology available.

3D Imaging Dr. Frohwein talks about advanced cardiac imaging.

Technologies include:

• The Siemens SOMATOM® Sensation Cardiac 64, the world’s first and fastest 64-slice computed tomography (CT) system that provides unprecedented image quality of the smallest intracranial, pulmonary, mesenteric and peripheral vessels in less than 10 seconds. Saint Joseph’s is the first hospital in Atlanta to have acquired the advanced technology with specific cardiac applications capable of virtually freezing the heart’s motion for unprecedented image quality.

The Institute’s advanced cardiovascular imaging staff regularly performs a gamut of studies, from congenital testing to cardiac profusion to pre- and post-operative imaging to chest pain diagnosis. 

HVI staff also have extensive experience in the use of imaging to diagnose and treat peripheral vascular disorders, including those in the thoracic and abdominal aortas, as well as in the iliac, renal, subclavian and carotid arteries.
