🫀 Cardiac MRI Scan in Mumbai & Navi Mumbai
Are you looking for a highly accurate Cardiac MRI in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai? We understand that matters of the heart require absolute precision and urgent care. Therefore, Henotic Diagnostics offers world-class cardiovascular imaging to help your doctors evaluate the health of your heart muscle, valves, and blood vessels. Specifically, a Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a powerful magnetic field to produce detailed, moving 3D pictures of your beating heart. Consequently, it safely detects complex heart conditions without using any harmful radiation.
🩺 What is a Cardiac MRI?
This specialized scan is the ultimate gold standard for assessing heart anatomy and function. According to cardiovascular experts at the American Heart Association, this test provides doctors with the clearest possible view of soft tissue damage inside the heart. For example, our expert radiologists use it to measure how well your heart pumps blood with every beat. As a result, cardiologists can precisely diagnose hidden issues, plan delicate surgeries, and monitor your recovery safely.

👨⚕️ Why Cardiologists Recommend This Scan
Doctors highly recommend this imaging technique because it reveals details that regular echocardiograms (ultrasounds) simply cannot see. Furthermore, it helps physicians evaluate serious cardiovascular conditions. Specifically, your doctor might request this test for the following reasons:
- 💔 Heart Attack Damage: Assessing scar tissue and muscle damage after a heart attack.
- 🩸 Blood Flow Issues: Checking for blocked arteries or restricted blood supply (Ischemia).
- 🧬 Congenital Defects: Finding structural heart problems present from birth.
- 🦠 Heart Inflammation: Diagnosing myocarditis or pericarditis (swelling of the heart muscle or lining).
- 🪨 Cardiac Tumors: Identifying unusual masses or blood clots inside the heart chambers.
💳 Transparent Cardiac MRI Price List
We believe that premium heart care should remain affordable and accessible. Moreover, we maintain absolute transparency with our billing. Here is our simple, two-row pricing table for cardiac imaging.
| Diagnostic Service | Price (₹) | Clinical Inclusions |

| Cardiac MRI (Plain) | 15,000 | Heart Function Evaluation + Digital Report |
| Cardiac MRI with Contrast (Viability) | 18,500 | Includes Gadolinium Dye + Scar Tissue Mapping |
⏱️ How to Prepare for Your Heart Scan
To capture crystal-clear images of your beating heart, you must follow specific preparation steps. First, you must remove all metal objects, including jewelry and watches. Most importantly, you must inform our technicians if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or metallic heart valves, as some older implants are not MRI-safe.
💧 Contrast Guidelines and Fasting Rules
Cardiologists frequently request a Cardiac Viability MRI to see if damaged heart muscle can recover. Consequently, we will administer a safe contrast dye (Gadolinium) into your vein. If you need this contrast scan, you must fast (consume no solid foods) for exactly 4 to 6 hours before your appointment. Additionally, we require a recent Serum Creatinine Blood Test to ensure your kidneys are functioning perfectly before we administer the dye.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Procedure Guide
We prioritize your comfort and safety. Here is exactly what happens during your scan:
- 👕 ECG Preparation: After you change into a gown, our team will place small, sticky ECG patches on your chest to monitor your heart rhythm during the scan.
- 🧲 Positioning: You will lie flat on your back on the sliding scanner bed. We will place a specialized receiver coil over your chest.
- 🎧 The Scan: The bed will gently slide into the wide-bore 3.0T MRI machine. Because the machine creates loud tapping noises, we provide comfortable headphones playing soothing music.
- 🫁 Breath-Holding: To prevent your breathing from blurring the images, our technologist will ask you to hold your breath for 10 to 15 seconds multiple times.
Overall, a complete heart scan takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
📱 Fast Reports & Digital Convenience
We know that waiting for cardiac results can trigger severe anxiety. Therefore, we optimize our workflows for rapid delivery. We provide high-quality physical films shortly after the scan. Furthermore, we send the final, cardiologist-verified digital report directly to your smartphone via WhatsApp within 24 hours. You can contact our clinic anytime to book a same-day slot.

What is a Cardiac MRI? ▼
It is a highly advanced, painless imaging test that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed 3D movies and pictures of your beating heart and blood vessels.
How long does a Cardiac MRI take? ▼
Because the heart is constantly moving, the technologist takes multiple detailed images. Consequently, the entire procedure usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
Do I need to fast before my heart scan? ▼
If your doctor ordered a plain scan, no fasting is required. However, if you require a Cardiac Viability MRI with contrast dye, you must fast (no solid food) for 4 to 6 hours before the test.
Can I get this scan if I have a pacemaker? ▼
It depends entirely on the specific model of your pacemaker. While many newer implants are “MRI conditional” and safe, older ones are strictly prohibited. You must bring your pacemaker implant card for our doctor to verify.
