What You Need to Know

A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the heart, called cardiac MRI, is an important tool for diagnosing and even treating congenital heart disease. In the hybrid cardiac MRI suite at Children's National Hospital, we are able to perform MRI and a catheterization procedure at the same time. This reduces the amount of sedation your child needs.
