At Dragonfly, our Whole-Body MRI includes a cardiac-focused evaluation designed to provide valuable insights into your heart and surrounding structures—safely and non-invasively. This evaluation supports early awareness of structural and vascular findings, often before symptoms develop.

What We Evaluate

1. Cardiac Structure

We assess the overall anatomy of the heart, including:

* Heart size and chamber configuration
* Cardiac contours
* Position of the heart within the chest

This helps identify structural abnormalities that may otherwise go unnoticed.

2. Thoracic Aorta & Great Vessels

We evaluate major vessels associated with the heart, including:

* Ascending and descending thoracic aorta
* Aortic caliber and morphology
* Screening for aneurysm or dilation

3. Pericardium and Surrounding Structures

We evaluate major vessels associated with the heart, including:

* Pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart)
* Pericardial thickening or irregularity
* Adjacent mediastinal structures

3. Incidental Cardiovascular-Related Findings

Whole-body MRI may also reveal additional findings relevant to cardiovascular health:

* Lung and mediastinal observations
* Indirect markers such as visceral fat distribution (from body composition analysis)

Why This Matters

Many cardiovascular conditions develop silently. This evaluation is designed to:

* Provide early visibility into structural heart and vascular health
* Identify incidental but clinically meaningful findings
* Support proactive follow-up when appropriate

Important Considerations

* This is a structural, screening-level cardiac assessment
* It does not evaluate cardiac motion, function, or blood flow dynamics
* It is not a substitute for:Dedicated cardiac MRI,
Echocardiography, or CT coronary calcium scoring or CT angiography
* Coronary arteries are not directly evaluated in standard whole-body MRI
* This service is designed for asymptomatic individuals and not intended to evaluate known or suspected cardiac disease

The Dragonfly Advantage

* No radiation exposure
* Non-invasive and contrast-free (in most cases)
* Whole-body context—not just isolated cardiac imaging
* Expert radiologist interpretation

Your health matters. Let’s start treating it that way.
