Physician - Pediatric Congenital Cardiologist - Advanced Imaging - Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, Grand Rapids, MI
Corewell Health
Grand Rapids, MI, USA
Posted on Oct 22, 2024
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
