Cardiac Imaging - Summary
Cardiac imaging is useful to image structure and visualize the anatomy of both normal and abnormal structures.
The next several slides are a quiz to assess your basic understanding of cardiac imaging.
In our next talk, we will discuss how these techniques can be used to diagnose heart conditions and provide information into the hemodynamics of the heart.
