Importance of Cardiac Imaging in Cardioncology

Cardiac imaging plays a crucial role in cardioncology by providing essential insights into monitoring and managing cardiovascular health in cancer patients. With the use of imaging modalities like echocardiography and MRI, healthcare professionals can assess cardiac function, detect early signs of cardiotoxicity from cancer treatments, and tailor interventions to minimize adverse cardiovascular effects. Imaging not only helps in baseline assessments but also guides ongoing surveillance and risk stratification during and after cancer therapy, ensuring optimal patient care.
