Heart Patient? Possible Developments Ahead

Are you a likely heart patient in waiting? Well chances are that soon you will have to wait no more in order to find out. A new piece of technology is about to hit the market and chances are that it will become a standard for diagnosing heart disease.

This particular technology, called intravascular photoacoustic imaging, will work by using ultrasound signals from laser-exposed molecules. The resulting images are three-dimensional and show plaques ready to rupture and cause heart attacks.

While this particular technology shows promise and it will likely see daylight soon, it may meet with a mixed reaction from professionals using established methods.

If you have any questions about diagnostic imaging procedures please feel free to give us a call. Our team of dedicated professionals here at Clermont Radiology looks forward to speaking with you.
