The UF Health Cardiovascular and Thoracic Imaging team in Jacksonville,
Florida, provides a full range of advanced cardiovascular and thoracic imaging for
clinical specialists, including pulmonary disease
specialists, cardiologists and
cardiothoracic surgeons at UF Health

The cardiovascular imaging experts perform non-invasive diagnostic imaging of the
heart, great arteries and veins, as well as surrounding structures, such as the
pericardium. Complete vascular imaging including coronary, carotid, thoracic, abdominal,
pelvic and extremity vascular studies are performed. In addition, the division offers
pulmonary imaging, including conventional diagnostic chest radiographs and CT, low-dose
lung cancer screening, and high-resolution CT scans for evaluation of focal and
diffuse lung disease and tracheobronchial pathology.
Available imaging methods include magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (1.5 and 3.0 Tesla),
computed tomography (CT) scanning (dual-source 64-slice) and nuclear imaging including
single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and hybrid positron emission
tomography (PET-CT).
