AngioGRAPHYOur preclinical laboratory includes cardiac catheterization lab with the newest generation digital angiography (GE Healthcare InnovaTM IGS 5). The digital angiography provides high resolution and high FPS imaging for clear details for visualizing soft tissue and small devices. The digital angiography also features GE’s next generation 3D imaging.
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHYCardiac ultrasound provides an option for frequent evaluation of cardiac function during the follow-up period. We can also perform contrast pulse sequence (CPS) imaging for the real-time and high-resolution evaluation of muscle perfusion.

VASCULAR IMAGINGOur newest generation optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used for imaging coronary arteries and coronary devices to visualize vessel wall lumen morphology and microstructures at high resolution. In addition, measurements of pressure (FFR and RFR), coronary flow (CFR) and index of microcirculatory (IMR) can be recorded simultaneously.

FUNCTIONAL IMAGINGWe offer functional imaging using a PET-CT scanner with a wide range of clinical radiotracers, such as oxygen-15 water. These can be used for instance for the assessment of myocardial perfusion and viability for the translational studies.
