Advanced Cardiac Imaging

The Pediatric Heart Institute at Monroe Carell is recognized as one of the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report. Our high-quality care and specialized disease management earned accreditation by the Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF). The American Society of Extracorporeal Technology (AmSECT) has recognized Monroe Carell as a Perfusion Center of Excellence with the 2022 Pillar Award. We are one of only seven children's hospitals in the nation to earn this honor. Our program is also recognized as an Aetna Pediatric Heart Disease Center of Excellence.

We work as a team to ensure your child receives the most comprehensive heart care available. From general and fetal cardiologists to cardiac surgeons and critical care specialists, Monroe Carell is here to help your child in their health care journey. As part of a comprehensive academic medical center with one of the top heart programs in the world, we also provide seamless transition of care from childhood into adulthood.

We offer echocardiography at the hospital bedside or during a clinic visit if needed. Additional scanning types, such as transesophageal, fetal and 3D are part of this service.

We perform cardiac CT at Monroe Carell using lower amounts of radiation, providing extremely high-quality imaging of your child's heart and blood vessels. We can also create 3D models and prints from both MRI and CT images that give clinicians a full, hands-on view of your child's heart. These scans may require anesthesia for young patients.
