CT Angiography  
The CT Angiography is a technique for rapid non-invasive scanning of the heart using the latest X-ray technology. It is quick, accurate and painless. The CT Angiography quickly assesses the heart and can identify the presence of any disease in their earliest stages.

Types of Diseases Include:

• Coronary heart disease

• Congestive heart failure

• Blocked arteries

• Cancer

Utilizing computerized tomography, in just a matter of minutes, this procedure can provide you with information about problems that are going to occur, even long before they do.

A CT Angiography can measure the amount of calcium in the walls of your coronary arteries, this information in combination with your health information; can help your doctor to assess your risk of coronary artery disease.

If you are concerned that you may have a certain disease, but aren't showing any symptoms and have no known risk factors a CT angiography may be an option for you to reassure yourself that you're okay and healthy.

This procedure is a simple non-invasive test that is capable of detecting heart disease in its infancy. With early detection and modifying your risk factors, the potential for advanced heart disease may be significantly reduced and in some cases it maybe reversed.

The CT Angiography is similar to taking an x-ray of your body. An individual lies on the scanner table and multiple images of the heart are taken. A qualified physician then interprets these images to determine the amount of calcified plaque in the arteries.
