Diagnostic Procedures Advanced imaging is one of WVU’s outstanding strengths. In addition, our team works closely with the Center for Advanced Imaging (CAI), a 12,000-square-foot research and clinical imaging facility. Our specialists have access to the latest technology, including 3-Tesla MRI — twice as powerful as regular MRI — positron emission tomography (PET) and others. WVU also has a 64-Slice CT scanner that provides a real-time ultrasound 3-D image of the patient’s heart. Using this cutting-edge tool, the healthcare team can diagnose congenital heart disease, valvular disease, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy, and other cardiovascular disorders. Diagnostic procedures performed at the Heart Institute include: 64-Slice CT scan Abdominal aorta ultrasound Aortography Arrhythmia mapping Cardiac MRI Carotid ultrasound Computerized Tomography (CT) scan CT angiography Echocardiogram Electrocardiogram (ECG) Electrophysiological studies (EPS) Event monitors Holter monitoring Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive flow studies Radioisotope examinations of the heart Signal-averaging EGG Stress testing Tilt table Trans-esophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) Vascular ultrasound
