UH CMC offers the full spectrum of state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technologies, including the Noga XP.

The NOGA® Cardiac Navigation System is currently the most advanced imaging technology currently available.

Additional diagnostic techniques include:

• CT scan: computed tomography (CT) is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create cross-sectional pictures of the body.
• MRI : Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive way to take pictures of the body. Unlike x-rays and CT scans which use radiation, MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves.
• Echocardiogram (ECHO) : a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart. The picture is much more detailed than an x-ray image and involves no radiation exposure.
• Cardiac catheterization: evaluates various heart functions and obtains diagnostic information about the heart and its vessels.

• Intracardiac electrophysiology lab: here, we perform invasive studies including electrophysiology which involve placing wire electrodes within the heart to determine the characteristics of heart arrhythmias.
• Nuclear ventriculography: a test that uses radioactive materials called tracers to make heart chambers and blood vessels visible. The procedure is non-invasive, so the heart structures are not touched by instruments.
• Vascular testing: imaging techniques using ultrasound equipment (non-invasive) and catheter-based methods (minimally-invasive).
