At Radiology Regional, we are committed to improving heart health through cutting-edge diagnostic imaging, expert radiological interpretation, and a strong partnership with referring providers. Our comprehensive suite of advanced cardiac imaging services supports early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment planning—all delivered in a convenient outpatient setting.
With the region’s largest inventory of 3T MRI scanners (15 units) and the only Dual Source CT scanner (SOMATOM Force) in Southwest Florida, Radiology Regional is uniquely positioned to deliver the highest level of cardiac care. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists work closely with clinicians to ensure timely and precise insights that help guide treatment decisions and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Advanced Cardiac Imaging Services Available at Radiology Regional:
Echocardiogram
A non-invasive ultrasound exam that evaluates the structure and function of the heart in real time. It’s often used to assess heart murmurs, valve disorders, and overall heart function.

CT Heart Screening
Also known as coronary calcium scoring, this quick, low-dose CT scan detects calcified plaque in the coronary arteries—a key indicator of heart disease risk.

Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA)
Using our state-of-the-art SOMATOM Force Dual Source CT scanner, CCTA offers crystal-clear, 3D images of the coronary arteries with low-dose radiation. This test helps detect blockages and assess the risk of heart attacks with unmatched precision.
HeartFlow® FFR-CT Analysis
A revolutionary AI technology that uses data from a Coronary CTA to create a personalized 3D model of coronary arteries and measures blood flow—eliminating the need for diagnostic catheterization in many cases.

Unmatched Technology, Unparalleled Impact
Radiology Regional is the only outpatient imaging provider in the region to offer the SOMATOM Force Dual Source CT, the most advanced CT technology available. With its 256-slice capability, low-dose scanning, and 3D imaging, our team can deliver more detailed and personalized scans—especially vital when performing Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA).
Our investment in 3T MRI technology—15 units across our network—ensures patients have access to the most powerful magnetic resonance systems available. This allows for clearer, faster, and more comprehensive cardiac assessments.
Why Advanced Cardiac Imaging Matters
Advanced cardiac imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosing conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, valve disorders, and congenital anomalies. By enabling earlier detection and intervention, we help reduce the need for invasive procedures and contribute to better long-term cardiovascular health.
For example, identifying blockages in the coronary arteries through a CCTA scan can lead to timely medical or surgical treatment—potentially preventing a heart attack. Similarly, accurate imaging of valve function or myocardial scarring can directly influence treatment strategies and improve quality of life.
“Utilizing the most advanced cardiac imaging techniques, we can deliver precise, timely insights that support our referring providers and ultimately lead to better outcomes,” says Dr. Edward Danehy, fellowship-trained radiologist and lead of Radiology Regional’s Cardiac Imaging Program.
At Radiology Regional, advanced imaging is not just about technology—it’s about better care, better outcomes, and healthier hearts throughout Southwest Florida.
