Cardiac Imaging

At the S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center at Cedars-Sinai, we have a wide range of imaging technologies designed to image the heart and the coronary arteries. Our team of fellowship-trained cardiac imaging physicians specialize in the interpretation of cardiac exams. Our team is led by Daniel S. Berman, MD FACC. In addition to our clinical practice, we are also involved in ongoing research projects. Cardiac imaging techniques and technologies developed at Cedars-Sinai are in use around the world. In addition we use minimally-invasive procedures to both image and treat certain diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

There are several types of cardiac exams and procedures, depending on what type of imaging technology is being used: 

  • Nuclear Cardiology: This uses a tracer to track blood flow or cellular activity in the heart and coronary arteries.
  • Computer Tomography (CT): This uses x-rays and advanced computing to create detailed images of the heart and coronary system.
  • Magnetic Resonance: This uses a magnet and computer analysis to show the structure and movement of the heart.
  • Interventional Procedures: Minimally-invasive techniques are used to either examine blood vessels or to treat some diseases.
