Cardiac MRI is not the primary method of cardiac examination, although it does play an important role in cardiac imaging. A cardiac MRI can show changes that cannot be distinguished by a conventional ultrasound examination.
A specialist’s referral is always required for a cardiac MRI scan. A cardiologist is a specialised physician who is able to provide a reliable assessment of the need for imaging.
A cardiac MRI may not be possible if you have:
The cardiac MRI team consists of radiographers experienced in cardiac imaging and an experienced radiologist from Mehiläinen.
During the examination, you are given an intravenous gadolinium contrast medium, which allows for an accurate scan.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is performed with the Siemens Avanto Fit scanner at Mehiläinen Töölö. During an MRI scan, you will be instructed to lie on your back and remain still during the imaging process.
During the scan, the machine makes loud noises. To protect hearing, headphones are provided, with which breathing instructions are also provided. Because of breathing instructions, a cardiac MRI scan also usually takes a little longer than an MRI scan of other parts of the body.
You will have a button in your hand at all times during the scan, which can be pressed for immediate contact with the nurse performing the scan. The imaging can also be interrupted at any time.
The cardiac MRI requires post-processing and measurements, so it can sometimes take longer than normal to obtain a radiological report. However, you can usually get a report on the same day.
During a cardiac MRI, a strong magnetic field and a contrast agent are used to form an image of the heart. In an MRI scan, you lie still in a tubular imaging device.
During the scan, the machine makes loud noises. To protect hearing, headphones are provided, with which breathing instructions are also provided. Because of breathing instructions, a cardiac MRI scan also usually takes a little longer than an MRI scan of other parts of the body.
You should reserve about an hour for a cardiac MRI. Please arrive approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled time.
