As the state’s first facilities to offer cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Rhode Island Hospital and The Miriam Hospital provide patients the highest quality diagnostic tools for heart disease.

Our state-of-the-art 1.5T Siemens Symphony MRI machines are the most sophisticated multi-purpose scanners available, and enable physicians to accurately diagnose heart conditions earlier than ever before. Physicians can now administer therapy before damage caused by heart disease becomes irreparable.

In summary, MRI is a powerful technique for evaluating the cardiovascular system. It offers a vast array of techniques for evaluating anatomy, physiology, and myocardial function. In addition, MRI is a true 3-dimensional modality that provides very high temporal and spatial resolution.
