The cardiac MRI is the most accurate way of measuring the pumping function of the heart, both for the left and the right side of the heart, so it's the gold standard.

I had done some initial testing, but then Doctor Bose wanted to have a clearer picture of my heart to see what was really going on.

One of the biggest advantages of MRI is that it does not use any radiation. We can get very accurate imaging, look at the bowels. We are able to look for masses, tumors, blood clots, any complications from a heart attack.

The test is thorough and the information that it provides can be life changing. If your doctor recommends a cardiac MRI, it's because they want the best possible picture of your heart and the best outcome for you. I was incredibly thankful. Being able to receive such advanced care close to home made a huge difference. I didn't have to worry about driving out of state. Everything that I needed was right here in Paducah.

There are no MRI centers in this part of the state. The bigger centers are more than one hundred miles away. It's a tremendous benefit to them because we can provide very accurate diagnosis of the conditions we are testing with cardiac MRI and then our volumes have grown exponentially and continues to grow. So we want to expand this program further which would be quite unique for this region.
