- assessing congenital heart disease
- characterizing cardiac tumors
- confirming causes of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
- dilated cardiomyopathy
- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia
- cardiac amyloidosis
- cardiac sarcoidosis
- left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy
- iron-overload cardiomyopathy
- myocarditis

3-D lab
The CT and MRI 3D labs provide advanced 3D visualization and post-processing for optimal visualization of anatomy, pathology and surgical planning. This includes visualization and quantification of four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI and generating patient-specific 3D printed models to assist with complex surgery.
