Diagnose with Precision. Treat with Confidence.

Picture This - Dr. Jankharia’s Imaging brings you Mumbai’s most advanced Cardiac MRI (CMR) services using India’s first Philips Ingenia CX 3T MRI system. As a pioneer in high-end radiology, we offer accurate, non-invasive imaging of the heart's structure, function, and blood flow - essential for early diagnosis and management of cardiovascular conditions.

What Is a Cardiac MRI?

Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a sophisticated, non-invasive imaging technique that uses a powerful magnetic field to produce high-resolution images of the heart and major blood vessels - without any radiation. It provides detailed insights into:

Heart muscle and wall motion
Chamber size and function
Blood flow patterns
Inflammation and scarring (myocarditis, fibrosis)
Congenital heart disease
Cardiac tumours and pericardial diseases

With cardiac strain imaging and MR angiography, Cardiac MRI at Picture This is a powerful diagnostic tool for cardiologists and cardiac surgeons.

Clinical Applications of Cardiac MRI

Cardiac MRI is particularly useful when echocardiography or CT is inconclusive. It is recommended for:

Cardiomyopathy - Dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive
Myocardial Ischemia & Infarction - Detect damage or scar tissue
Congenital Heart Defects - Visualize complex anatomical variations
Pericarditis / Myocarditis - Detect inflammation or fluid
Aortic Disease - Aneurysms, dissections
Heart Tumours - Mass characterization
Viability Studies - Assess recovery potential before angioplasty/bypass
Cardiac Strain & Fibrosis Assessment - With advanced post-processing software

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cardiac MRI safe?

Yes. Cardiac MRI is a safe, non-invasive test that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves instead of radiation.

No ionizing radiation exposure
Safe for most patients
Always inform your radiology team about any implants, pacemakers, or medical devices before the scan

Do I need a referral for a Cardiac MRI?

Yes. Cardiac MRI is performed under the guidance of your cardiologist or treating physician to ensure:

The correct imaging protocol is followed
Results are tailored to your specific heart condition
Findings are integrated into your overall treatment plan

Will contrast dye be used during Cardiac MRI?

In many cases, yes. Contrast dye (usually gadolinium-based) enhances the accuracy of the test by helping doctors evaluate:

Heart muscle perfusion (blood flow)
Scar tissue or prior damage
Vascular abnormalities or congenital defects
Your doctor will decide if contrast is needed based on your medical history.

How is Cardiac MRI different from an Echocardiogram (Echo) or CT Scan?

Cardiac MRI offers unique advantages over other imaging tests:

Compared to Echo (Echocardiogram): Provides more detailed visualization of heart tissue, scarring, and function beyond ultrasound limitations
Compared to CT Scan: Avoids radiation exposure and delivers superior soft tissue contrast, particularly useful in detecting subtle heart abnormalities
