The requirement
Cardiac CT is a first-line test, and it needs a subspecialist report
UK and European guidelines place CT coronary angiography early in the assessment of stable chest pain. That has changed what a cardiac CT service is asked to deliver.
Reporting CTCA to a structured standard, with CAD-RADS categorisation and assessment of the full field of view, is a subspecialist task.
Oxcardio reports CTCA, calcium scoring and structural heart CT alongside the full range of cardiac MRI.
Discuss reporting coverWho reports
Cardiology and radiology, both
Our reporting team includes both cardiologists and radiologists subspecialised in cardiac imaging.
Cardiology brings the clinical context around a finding. Radiology brings assessment of the whole field of view, where significant incidental findings appear.
Every clinician reporting for Oxcardio is fully accredited in cardiac imaging to Level 3, the highest competency tier.
What we report
Cardiac MRI and cardiac CT, reported to subspecialist standard
Reporting covers routine clinical work and study protocols alike, using the same scope across both modalities.
Cardiac MRI (CMR)
- Function and volumesVentricular volumes, mass and ejection fraction.
- Tissue characterisationLate gadolinium enhancement, T1, T2 and ECV mapping.
- Cardiomyopathy and myocarditisWhere echocardiography leaves the diagnosis open.
- Perfusion and viabilityStress perfusion and viability assessment.
- Congenital heart diseaseAnatomical and flow assessment.
Cardiac CT
- CT coronary angiographyCTCA with CAD-RADS categorisation.
- Calcium scoringAgatston scoring with percentile context.
- Structural and pre-proceduralValve and structural heart planning studies.
- Electrophysiology planningLeft atrial and pulmonary vein anatomy.
- Extracardiac findingsThe full field of view is reviewed and reported.
Research and trials
Independent image analysis for studies recruiting in the region
Cardiovascular trials and registries recruiting in Southeast Asia need image analysis that is independent of the recruiting site.
Oxcardio provides core lab reporting, covering blinded reads, quantitative CMR and CT endpoints, and protocol-consistent analysis to research standard.

Practicalities
How working with a UK reporting service actually runs
- Reports and languageReports are issued in English, as are the enquiry form and correspondence.
- Time differenceThe region runs six to eight hours ahead of the UK, depending on the country and season, so studies acquired through your day reach the UK reporting day as it begins.
- Study protocolsFor research work, the acquisition protocol and the analysis specification are agreed with the study team before the first read.
- What your site providesA DICOM export pathway, a secure transfer route agreed with your IT team, and nominated clinical and IT contacts.
Transfer options, data protection under UK GDPR alongside your national requirements, and retention are settled with your IT and governance teams before go-live. Governance and security
