Cardiac CT Scan

A Cardiac CT scan is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays and a computer to create detailed pictures of the heart and its blood vessels. It helps doctors examine the coronary arteries for blockages, identify calcium buildup, and assess the heart's structure and function. The procedure is quick, usually taking about 10–15 minutes, and involves lying on a table while a scanner rotates around your chest. Sometimes, a contrast dye is used to enhance the images. This test aids in diagnosing heart disease and guiding treatment decisions with minimal discomfort.
