HeartScan of Chicago regularly performs CT scans to detect the most common conditions. This new technology now permits patients to have a non-invasive, outpatient CT scan to provide results that are comparable to more invasive tests or to complement other tests such as electrocardiography (ECG/EKG), cardiac stress testing, coronary catheterization, echocardiogram, intravascular ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound and chest x-rays.

This is the procedure offered at HeartScan of Chicago. Using the Siemens SOMATOM Sensation 64, HeartScan of Chicago offers the finest technology available. This non-invasive procedure is replacing the older, traditional, invasive procedure cardiac catheterization or angiography performed in a hospital and usually requiring anesthesia and a one day hospital stay.
