At Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital cardiac imaging is the cornerstone of pediatric cardiology and most patients referred to our care will have at least one study.
The modalities are ultrasound (echocardiography), CT and MRI.
Basic imaging that can be performed by any cardiologist is transthoracic echocardiography.
Anything else involves specialization; in echocardiography this includes transesophageal, intracardiac, fetal, and 3D imaging.
CT and MRI are another separate area of specialization in cardiac imaging.
Imaging that is based in echocardiography is within the division of pediatric and congenital cardiology.
This large volume of work includes:
Training ultrasound technologists
Providing seamless 24/7 coverage to our inpatient and ED populations
Accommodating for rapid access (often same day) testing in our outpatient clinics.
Availability 24/7 to provide transesophageal echo for open heart surgery and cardiac catheterization procedures, and during other emergencies
Expertise in fetal echocardiography, working with MFM, training OB sonographers and building that network in the communities we serve
Familiarity with 3D echo that is used to print a complex heart for procedural planning
Expertise in advanced cardiac imaging
This person will be able to hit the ground running in reading studies and be able to continue working with the 3D echo and visualization space.
Program Highlights:
Largest congenital cardiology group in West Michigan, providing state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient congenital cardiac care
