Cardiac Calcium Scoring is a quick, non-invasive CT scan that measures calcium deposits in your coronary arteries. The resulting calcium score, combined with traditional cardiac risk factors, provides valuable insight into your cardiovascular risk and helps predict the likelihood of coronary artery disease. This simple screening requires no preparation and takes approximately 15 minutes.
