Advanced cardiovascular imaging
Currently, there is a worldwide shortage of the contrast dye used in some imaging procedures. As a result, you may be contacted to reschedule your appointment. This contrast dye is necessary for accurate pictures, and it enables doctors to diagnose and treat diseases.
During this shortage, Allina Health is taking steps to conserve our supply of the dye while ensuring that all of our patients receive safe and appropriate care.
We anticipate this contrast shortage to last through at least June 30.
Three-dimensional images of your heart and blood vessels, coupled with novel device technologies, provide a comprehensive view of the workings of your heart.
