Cardiac Calcium Scoring is a specialized CT scan that detects calcium deposits in your heart’s arteries. A higher calcium score indicates a higher risk of coronary artery disease and potential heart attacks.

A simple 15-minute CT Scan can show the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. Calcification of the coronary arteries is an indication of the plaque buildup that causes heart disease. Earlier detection can lead to a better chance of maintaining a healthy heart.
