Non-Invasive Imaging

To assess whether you have coronary artery disease, your doctor may recommend further testing, using non-invasive imaging techniques. Non-invasive techniques are procedures that do not involve surgery or penetration of the body with examining devices. Non-invasive imaging can be done either with low and safe amounts of radiation or with echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound).

These imaging tests are usually done in conjunction with an exercise test or with medication that simulates exercise for patients who are unable to exercise.

These procedures are very safe and provide the most comprehensive information possible without using an invasive procedure.
