How is Coronary Calcium Scoring Performed?
This analysis provides an important resource for learning about future cardiovascular diseases. This examination is performed at the Private Sonomed Medical Imaging Center with a computerized tomography device without medication. In the computerized tomography device, the examination is completed in approximately 5-6 seconds.
Total Evaluation with CT Coronary Angiography
In some cases, a general evaluation can be made with CT Coronary Angiography upon the request of the specialist physician. CT Coronary Angiography is performed with a substance called a contrast agent. This substance is injected into the patient’s arm. The aim of this examination, which is also called “medicated”, is to visualize the vessels more brightly and in detail. However, calcium scoring can also be done with this examination. Thus, a detailed analysis is provided by performing both examinations at once. You can call us for more detailed information.
