"...You're buying life and time with family, trips with your children, visits with your grandchildren." Dr. Tarang Sheth, Cardiac Radiologist

Dr. Tarang Sheth is a Cardiac Radiologist and a pioneer in the use of two of the most advanced imaging techniques available today.  Cardiac MR (Magnetic Resonance) and CT (Computed Tomography) are both powerful, non-invasive tools that allow physicians to identify cardiac diseases that other imaging methods can't detect or assess adequately.  More..

By either technique, explains cardiovascular radiologist, Dr. Tarang Sheth, what physicians are looking for is the state of the coronary grafts or "patency" accomplished during surgery."The cardiac CT gives exceptional image quality for examining patency in a graft and optimal patient comfort that is unprecedented.So I think it is ushering in a whole new era of non-invasive diagnosis in cardiovascular disease."

Dr. Sheth, teaming with Dr. Bhatnagar, is co-principal investigator of the Toshiba study.

Dr. Sheth says Trillium now does up to 70 percent of its cardiac operations using off-pump, beating heart techniques.

"It's always difficult to get patients to volunteer," admits Dr. Sheth.

"Dr. Bhatnagar and Dr. Sheth, for example, will be able to look at as many as 250 outcomes and be able to say this type of coronary graft is clearly healing more quickly than this type," says Dr. William Magnusson, Trillium's chief radiologist and head of diagnostic imaging.

Dr. Tarang Sheth, a cardiac radiologist, is pioneering new advanced imaging diagnostics for heart disease. "A cardiac CT takes just 15-seconds. In that short time, we will be able to evaluate a range of very important medical conditions that could be acutely life-threatening," says Dr. Sheth.

Cardiac MR is a specialized imaging technique to solve specific problems in diagnosing heart disease. Trillium is the only hospital in our region to offer this service. "With additional funds, the impact to our patients would be immediate in terms of access time and the types of procedures they would have access to," says Dr. Sheth.

"This research will make a significant contribution to cardiovascular science and practice worldwide," says Dr. Tarang Sheth, Cardiovascular Radiologist, Trillium Health Centre, and Co-Principal Investigator on the study.

"With the Toshiba 64 Slice Multi Detector CT, Trillium Health Centre can now offer cardiac CT with exceptional image quality and optimal patient comfort," says Dr. Sheth. "With this scanner we are crossing into a new era in the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular disease."
