CT Cardiac Calcium Scoring Test...

[mitch96]

7. I'm an ex CT tech and most scans are done with a "Lo Dose". Very minimal exposure FYI.

I've gotten cardiac CT scans every couple of years with no problems.. .
One breath hold and your done. quick and easy.
.............Accept the horn growing out of my head😜
Here in Florida you can get a "combo" deal of Calcium score, carotid ultrasound and abd ultrasound (looking for aneurysm) for less than $200 with reading.. WITH READIING is the thing. The scan can be cheap but the reading by a radiologist can be pricy. Check around.
Another option is a Cardiac CT angiogram. More complex and a bit more dificult with an injection of Iodine. I've had that done also. No big deal if your heart is rhythmic. If you have an erratic heart beat it messes up the test..
No white stuff in the heart is better. That's coronary calcium
Good luck with the test..
