"MRI, in the heart, represents a new step forward with regard to our ability to accurately derive anatomic information. We have a very intense spirit of collaboration between the cardiologists delivering the care to patients with heart problems, as well as Dr. Mike Atalay interpreting the magnetic resonance images."
