Cardiac Imaging

Saint Agnes patients and their referring physicians can take comfort in knowing that our Cardiovascular Diagnostic Services (CVDS) department provides the highest level of cardiac imaging and diagnostic testing, often eliminating the need for additional, more invasive tests. Saint Agnes’ cardiac imaging services are performed in our accredited non-invasive Echocardiography Lab.

The IAC accreditation process ensures both critical operational and technical components of the lab exceed national standards.
