CT Coronary Artery Calcium Test
 

Heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the United States. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the cause of most heart attacks. Early detection of CAD allows for treatment and lifestyle changes, which can stop the progression of the disease.

Clearview Medical Imaging now has a Philips 64 Slice CT scanner, which allows us to do a fast noninvasive screening test called CT Coronary Artery Calcium Test.

CT Coronary Artery Calcium Test detects the amount of calcium in your arteries. This quick noninvasive test will give you a score, which will help determine your likelihood of having a coronary artery blockage. A high score can indicate a significant risk for future heart attacks. You can have significant calcium in your coronary arteries and not yet have any symptoms.

For $99.00, can you afford not to have the test?

There are no needles and no injections and the study takes approximately 15 minutes.

For further information go to

WebMD or

Radiologyinfo.org or

American Heart Association

Important: To get the $99.00 rate you must pay at the time of service. You must have a physician who agrees in advance to receive the report of the findings.

We will not file insurance but will give you a receipt with the procedure code. (Most insurance plans do not cover this screening test).
