Question 1

What can I expect after the heart CT scan?

Accepted Answer

After your heart CT scan, you will receive a comprehensive radiology report. This report is prepared by a Board-certified Radiologist and will take up to 7-10 business days that will be mailed to your home. Should you require further information about your results, Preventative Diagnostic’s  Medical Director will be available for consultation.

Question 2

What can a heart CT scan detect?

Accepted Answer

A non-invasive heart CT scan can detect calcium buildup or other blockages in the coronary arteries to help doctors measure a patient’s heart health and risk for heart attack. The special x-rays used in a CT scan create high-quality images of a beating heart that could also help diagnose problems with the aorta, valves, and heart function. When these high-risk factors are detected early, patients are able to make necessary life changes to improve their cardiovascular health.
