The technique has high inter-study reproducibility and can create both moving and still images of the heart and major blood vessels.

Dar Al Shifa Hospital higher committee head Taleb Jeraq said, "The cardiac MRI service at Dar Al Shifa Hospital is a new addition to the imaging centre which is showing a great potential for becoming the imaging investigation of choice for many cardiac patients."

Dar Al Shifa Hospital was established in 1963 as the first private hospital in the state of Kuwait. Originally a private maternity care hospital, it has since grown to encompass a wide range of services.
