CT Calcium Score tests are a key tool we use to identify the potential risk to patients of heart disease and as an indicator of overall cardiovascular health.
Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring uses a specialised scan of the heart to assess the presence of hard calcium deposits, or calcified plaque, in the arteries of the heart. The presence or build-up of calcified plaque can obstruct blood flow and increase the risk of heart-related conditions including chest pain and heart attack.
Where patients have high cholesterol levels, a family history of heart disease, or other risk factors, a coronary calcium test can be particularly useful as a tool that assists in identifying their overall risk of cardiovascular disease.
Imaging Associates remains committed to remaining at the forefront of technological and research based advancements in the delivery of the highest standard of care for our patients. Calcium CT Scans will continue to advance as an accurate and effective indicator of cardiovascular health and as an important risk assessment tool.
