Cardiovascular
magnetic resonance (MR) technology. Superior, low-risk MR technologies do not
require radiation or catheters
and provide images
showing exactly how the heart is functioning.
Unique imaging
capabilities.
These include a special X-ray system that allows three-dimensional
viewing of the affected area, offering a better
alternative for detecting aneurysms.
Specialized
diagnostic options. We can diagnose aneurysms and vessel abnormalities without
injecting a
contrast agent, a process that
is especially beneficial to patients with kidney
disease.
Nuclear
cardiology and echocardiography laboratories. Memorial Hermann uses
sophisticated equipment to provide early, non-invasive,
highly
accurate detection of heart problems. It is especially beneficial
to patients who
have passed a stress
test but are concerned because they have
a family history of heart
disease.
Holter monitoring. A
technology that allows for continuous recording of the heart’s electrical
activity while you go about your daily activities. This technology helps
physicians
diagnose abnormal heart rhythms and
develop the most effective treatment plan.
Trans-telephonic
assistance. Also known as Event Recorder Transmissions, this enables
patients who experience intermittent cardiac symptoms
to record their EKG waveform and transmit the information
through any ordinary phone
line for diagnostic interpretation.
