After a brief telephone consultation to ensure you qualify, we will schedule your screening CT exam with one of our licensed imaging centers.
You will then be invited, via email, to log into our Patient Portal where you will be instructed to enter your medical history and answer a few questions. Our prescribing physician(s) will then review your information and issue the screening CT exam order, subject to his/her medical determination. Should the physician deny the order a refund will be issued.
Our office visits are approximately 15 minutes, and the actual CT scan to capture the images takes about 12 seconds.
Your full body images are then reviewed by a Board-Certified Radiologist, and your heart images are analyzed by Canon Medical System’s Vitrea software, which will produce your Coronary Calcium Score report. Both reports are then sent to you and your personal physician within 2-5 business days.
