Having a HeartSaver CT exam couldn't be easier. It doesn't take much time...you could go through the entire process, from paperwork to completing the scan during a normal lunch hour. The actual procedure itself is less than 7 minutes. Physicians read your scan and determine your calcium score from very low to very high. We send the report directly to your physician, unless you are self-referred, in which case, we send you the report. HeartSaver CT is completely noninvasive. That means it is totally pain-free. There are no needles, no dyes, no injections and no exercise. You remain fully clothed and comfortable. All you do is lay still on an exam table that is completely open, and a HeartSaver CT technologist will "take pictures." Studies indicate the accuracy of the HeartSaver CT to be between 95 and 98 percent.

HeartSaver CT shows calcium deposits that might be present in and around the heart...even in early stages, where you have a much greater chance of treating and even curing the disease. Depending on the indicated amounts of plaque, early intervention with drugs or lifestyle changes can stop or even reduce the buildup.
