Advanced cardiovascular imaging

At Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute, we offer advanced cardiovascular imaging services, including cardiovascular computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT). 

Advanced imaging capabilities allow our subspecialty cardiovascular experts to develop unique treatment approaches for vascular disease, genetic arrhythmias and heart failure. At one time, open-heart surgery was performed to explore options for patients. Now, state-of-the-art imaging provides physicians with better information and more options for care, including medications and interventions. 

With advanced cardiac imaging locations around the Twin Cities and select regional hospitals, as well as a mobile cardiac PET/CT truck, patients can access care closer to home. Additionally, our mobile echo and vascular imaging technologies bring these services to patients in their communities at our conveniently located outreach sites.

Cardiologists and radiologists from around the world travel to Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute and the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) for specialized training in advanced imaging. Our partnership with MHIF helps answer questions that might otherwise go unanswered.
