4. Cardiac Magnetic resonance imaging scan

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to give detailed pictures of the structures within and around the heart. Cardiac MRI helps detect or monitor cardiac disease and to evaluate the heart's condition and function in patients in both ways either heart disease present at birth or heart diseases that develop after birth. Cardiac MRI doesn't use ionizing radiation to produce images, and it may provide the clear images of the heart for certain conditions.
