Service Providers for Cardiac CT for Calcium Scoring
Cardiac CT for Calcium Scoring is a non-invasive imaging procedure used to assess the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries, which can be an indicator of coronary artery disease (CAD). The test uses a CT scan to generate detailed images of the heart and detect calcium deposits in the arterial walls. The amount of calcium is quantified, providing a ""calcium score"" that helps assess the risk of heart disease. No special preparation is typically required, but patients may need to avoid caffeine or certain medications before the test. The procedure is painless, though there may be slight discomfort from lying still. The results help guide preventive measures or treatments for cardiovascular risk.
