Advanced Heart Imaging at MRI Dubai
Cardiac MRI shows mainly functional of heart . It is a safe , non- invasive and precise study of heart . Also, heart MRI shows how well your heart’s chambers and valves work . Moreover, it shows how blood flows through your heart.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)- High-resolution 3 Tesla MRI scan in axial plane showing cardiac chambers, valves, and surrounding anatomy.
Cardiac MRI in Dubai is usually done after basic heart tests like ECG, calcium score, and heart ultrasound. It gives a more detailed and thorough picture of your heart’s condition.
MRI Dubai offers Cardiac MRI by using cutting-edge 3 Tesla (3T) MRI scanner equipped with AI integration. This AI technology is transforming cardiac MRI, making it faster, smarter, and more precise than ever.
What is a Cardiac MRI?
Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the heart) employs magnetic fields. It also uses radio waves to create high-resolution images. These images are cross-sectional representations of the heart. Unlike CT scans or X-rays, Cardiac MRI does not use ionizing radiation. No Radiation. It is completely safe procedure.
Why Choose 3 Tesla MRI with AI Integration?
Our facility in Jumeirah, Dubai, offers modern 3 Tesla MRI scanner. It is the most advanced MRI technology with AI features.
Key Advantages of 3 Tesla MRI for Cardiac Imaging:
- Higher resolution: Visualizes small structures of the heart with excellent clarity
- Faster scan time: Reduces the duration of the exam, improving patient comfort
- Improved signal-to-noise ratio: Results in better contrast and sharper images
- AI-Integrated Protocols: Artificial intelligence enhances image reconstruction and automates critical measurements. For instance, ejection fraction, myocardial thickness, and valvular assessment, ensuring fast and precise diagnosis.
Types of Cardiac MRI Scans
There is typically three type of cardiac MRI:
1. Standard Cardiac MRI (Performed in our center)
This is the most commonly and standard performed Cardiac MRI. Standard cardiac MRI evaluates:
- Cardiac structure and role
- Earlier myocardial infarction (MI)
- Myocarditis / Pericarditis
- Ischemic heart disease
- Valvular disease
- Ejection fraction measurement
- Cardiac muscle assessment
Standard cardiac MRI can be done with or without contrast . It depends on patient’s status .
- With contrast (Gadolinium): Better detection of scar tissue, inflammation, and myocardial perfusion
- Without contrast: Suitable for patients with kidney issues or when contrast is not necessary
Cardiac MRI Techniques
Our expert radiology team follow international cardiac imaging standards. Cardiac MRI study known CMR. Cardiac MRI typically comprises a set of sequences in a protocol tailored to the specific reason for the exam.
CMR study starts with localisers. These help with image planning. Afterward, a set of retrospectively-gated cine sequences assesses the biventricular role in standard orientations. We inject Contrast medium intravenously to assess myocardial perfusion and LGE. Phase contrast imaging is used to quantify valvular regurgitant fraction and shunt volume. The main imaging sequences are as below:
- Four-Chamber View
- Two-Chamber View
- Short Axis (SA) Cine Stack
- Perfusion Sequences
- Saturation (Sat) Sequences
These protocols help assess both anatomy and function, allowing detection of subtle myocardial injury, reduced perfusion, and chamber abnormalities.
Duration of MRI cardiac with and without contrast is Approximately 1 hour.
2. Congenital Heart Disease Cardiac MRI (Not offered)
This specialized scan is evaluating complex congenital abnormalities in children and adults. This requires pediatric cardiologist and specialized imaging protocols which are not available in our facility.
3. Stress Cardiac MRI (Not offered)
This exam involves injecting adenosine or other pharmacological agents to simulate exercise stress. Adverse cardiac events, like myocardial infarction, are possible. It must be performed in a hospital setting with ICU backup. Emergency cardiology support is also necessary. We don’t offer Stress cardiac MRI in our clinic.
Cardiac MRI Cost in Dubai
The cost of a cardiac MRI at MRI Dubai is very reasonable. This includes creatinine blood test , the full report and access to your images through a secure online link. The report of cardiac MRI will be ready within 4–5 working day
Preparation for Cardiac MRI
To guarantee the most precise results, please follow these pre-scan guidelines:
- Fasting for 4 hours (no food, no coffee, no smoking)
- No caffeine or nicotine on the day of the exam
- Creatinine blood test (necessary to assess kidney role before using contrast). We will conduct this test in the center.
- MR compatible Electrodes
Before the cardiac MRI, we place small electrodes on your chest. These are used to check your heart rate during the scan. - Give full medical history, including:
- Past MI or heart disease
- Stents or cardiac procedures
- Current symptoms and diagnosis
- Current medication and allergies
Recommendation for Cardiac MRI
Cardiac MRI is typically indicated for patients with:
- History of heart attack (MI)
- Former coronary stent placement
- Suspected or confirmed myocarditis/pericarditis
- Evaluation of cardiac masses or tumors
- Unexplained chest pain or abnormal stress tests
- Valvular disorders or cardiomyopathies
