ACCREDITATION COMMISSION

• Frankel CVC researchers recently developed a technique using machine learning and high-resolution CT scanning to calculate 3D changes in the aortic wall that may help clinicians identify aortic aneurysms earlier when they are more easily treatable.

Cardiac Mr

• Frankel CVC’s magnetic resonance scanners are equipped with the latest technology to skillfully demonstrate cardiovascular anatomy; accurately measure cardiac function, shunt quantification and stress perfusion; assess valvular pathologies; and identify areas of cardiac scarring — all critical steps in planning advanced cardiac interventions. We also perform MR imaging in patients with pacemakers and ICDs, regardless of whether the device is MRI conditional.

DIAGNOSTIC VASCULAR ULTRASOUND (DVU)

• Our DVU certified sonographers perform a full spectrum of approximately 30,000 arterial, venous, cerebrovascular, and abdominal studies annually, including air plethysmography, transcranial doppler monitoring, transcutaneous oxygen measurement, specialized pelvic venous studies, specialized temporal artery duplex for diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, arterial perforator mapping prior to fibular flap surgery, and pediatric studies.

• Accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission since 1993.

Heart model created from CT dataset in a 73-year-old female with sinus venosus defect and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. This innovative technique enabled interdisciplinary collaboration and preprocedural planning.
