Diagnosis and Imaging

Advanced imaging is one of WVU’s outstanding strengths. In addition, our team works closely with the Center for Advanced Imaging (CAI), a 12,000-square-foot research and clinical imaging facility. Our specialists have access to the latest technology, including 3-Tesla MRI — twice as powerful as regular MRI — positron emission tomography (PET) and others.

WVU has also has a 64-Slice CT scanner that provides a real-time ultrasound 3-D image of the patient’s heart. Using this cutting edge tool, the healthcare team can diagnose congenital heart disease, valvular disease, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy, and other cardiovascular disorders.
