Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Imaging 2016

Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Imaging October 31- November 01, 2016 Istanbul, Turkey Insights of Cardiovascular Imaging Cardiovascular Imaging invites you to attend the Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Imaging to be held at Istanbul, Turkey during Nov 10-12, 2016 organized by OMICS International Conferences will bring together world-class professors, scientists and cardiologists to discuss strategies for cardiovascular Imaging. The division of Cardiovascular Imaging interprets cross sectional imaging studies of the heart and vascular system using Computed Tomography (CT or "CAT" scans) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with a volume of more than 2,500 studies each year. Both CT and MRI are non-invasive imaging modalities, meaning that no catheterization is required. MUSC operates the most up-to-date, cutting edge imaging equipment to ensure optimal diagnostic quality in patient care while also minimizing patient exposure to ionizing radiation. Imaging studies are performed with contrast enhancement (iodine-based for CT, gadolinium-based for MRI), which is injected through a small intravenous access in an arm vein. CT scans are used primarily to evaluate vascular structures, such as the coronary arteries or the aorta and its branch vessels.
