Cardiac CT

Cardiac CT

An advanced imaging scan that creates detailed images of the heart and coronary arteries to detect cardiovascular disease.

Overview of the Test

A Cardiac CT scan uses advanced CT imaging technology to produce detailed pictures of the heart and blood vessels. It helps doctors detect early signs of heart disease and structural abnormalities.

Who It’s For

This test is recommended for individuals who:

  • Have chest pain or suspected heart disease

  • Have risk factors for coronary artery disease

  • Need detailed imaging of heart structures

What It Detects

Cardiac CT scans can detect:

  • Coronary artery blockages

  • Calcium buildup in arteries

  • Structural heart abnormalities

  • Congenital heart defects

How It Works

You lie on a scanning table that moves through a CT scanner while high-resolution images of the heart are taken. A contrast dye may be used to highlight blood vessels.
