CARING HEART CORONARY IMAGING (CHCI) has been lovingly designed to provide a warm, caring environment for all those who may be at risk for, or may be experiencing, heart health issues. When
you walk into CHCI, you will notice the undeniable difference from other imaging facilities you may have gone to before. Your comfort, confidence and well-being are of utmost importance to us. You will be greeted in our reception area by one of our welcoming staff members, and from start to finish; you will experience all the comforts of home.
CARING HEART CORONARY IMAGING offers the latest in cardiac perfusion study technology. A cardiac PET scan is the newest version of a test you may have already had or are familiar with. Also called a cardiac PET PERFUSION study, it allows your cardiologist to determine if your heart muscle is receiving adequate blood flow and if that blood flow is evenly distributed. If the flow is not what it should be, it can be corrected by effective, targeted treatment that your cardiologist can offer to you, because the perfusion scan will provide him with accurate and specific information. Or, you may receive a wonderful bill of health that you can trust and know is correct.
Along with an expert staff dedicated to your comfort and peace of mind, your experience will be memorable in only the best sense - if this is your first experience, and will take less than half the time of your last scan, if you are not new to this procedure. CARING HEART CORONARY IMAGING is introducing this state of the art technology to the Jersey Shore area and is the first imaging facility to do so. Cardiac PET is far superior to the present stress testing. It will further eliminate any unnecessary procedures such as cardiac catheterization. You will greatly benefit from this scan in the following ways:
-
Speedier scan times - approximately 45 minutes as opposed to a 2-1/2 to 4 hour SPECT scan.
-
Cuts Patient Exposure In Half - the Attrius scanner reduces patient exposure to radiation.
-
Improved Images - PET provides clearer, more precise 2D images better suited for detection of disease.
-
Avoid Unnecessary Procedures - test images are so accurate, procedures such as stent implantation and even coronary bypass surgery may be avoided.
-
We provide transportation - if needed.
