Calcium Scoring

Calcium scoring is a medical test that uses a special type of X-ray called a CT scan to detect calcium deposits in the arteries of your heart. These deposits can indicate the presence of coronary artery disease, which increases the risk of heart attacks. The test results give a score based on the amount of calcium found: a higher score suggests a greater risk of heart problems. It’s a non-invasive tool that helps doctors assess heart health and determine if further tests or lifestyle changes are needed.
