This cardiac imaging tool was created by a multidisciplinary group of experts in cardiovascular imaging to present a unified approach to cardiovascular imaging. The goal of this tool is to serve as both an educational reference as well as a point of care tool for the selection and ordering of cardiac imaging within the University of Washington.
