Cardiovascular Imaging Center

Wm. Guy Weigold, MD, examines a Cardiac CT.

Cardiovascular imaging is a critical part of diagnosing and treating many forms of cardiovascular disease.  Physicians now study the structures of the heart in three dimensions, giving them accurate real-time information, which they use to develop a treatment plan for you.

Cardiac imaging gives physicians detailed pictures of the heart as it beats, including:

• Blood flow
• Structures of the heart
• The ability to identify problems without having to do surgery

Our physicians are experts at reading heart-imaging tests
