Non-Invasive Cardiac Imaging

Being able to see what’s going on in your child’s heart is incredibly useful for doctors. If your child might have or is diagnosed with heart disease, imaging provides them with evidence to make an accurate diagnosis and helps them reach decisions about the best course of treatment.

At Children’s Hospital Boston, has long been a world leader in advanced cardiac imaging of congenital and acquired pediatric heart disease. We are committed to:

• providing the highest quality clinical care to our patient 
• training the next generation of experts in noninvasive cardiac imaging
• pursuing innovations and discoveries that will lead to more accurate, less invasive, and less costly diagnosis

Our Division of Non-Invasive Cardiac Imaging is able to provide incredibly detailed pictures of your child’s heart that allow cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to best map out treatment strategies.

In the past, surgeons needed to rely on x-rays to sketch out approaches to fixing a heart defect, but thanks to advances in cardiovascular MRI and echocardiography, our specialists can use intricately detailed images to plan and execute surgeries down to the smallest details.
