Benefits of CCTA
CT Allows the Early Detection of Coronary Artery Disease...
The great advantage of CCTA is that it can discover signs of coronary artery disease that could lead to a heart attack, yet are not detectable using other diagnostic tests. Using the CCTA in conjunction with your calcium score, your physician will be able to identify the exact severity level (if any) of coronary artery disease you may have – and will have all the information he or she needs to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
Fast scan, faster results. Unlike more invasive methods of evaluating your heart attack risk, a CCTA scan takes just 15 minutes to perform – and you can have it done at ProScan’s convenient Midtown outpatient imaging center. Just a few minutes of advance preparation are required, and a specially trained CT radiologist will go over the results of your scan with you within ten minutes of having the examination. This extremely accurate test is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare.
The Heart Attack Prevention Institute at Proscan Imaging, in partnership with your physician, can identify heart disease in its earliest stages so that appropriate preventive care can be administered. Our goal is simple: to help prevent you from having a heart attack. For your sake…and the sake of everyone who is counting on you.
The 64-slice CT scanner produces amazingly detailed images of the heart and coronary arteries.
