Frequently Asked Questions

We scan from the shoulders to the base of the pelvis. We do not scan limbs. We are looking at your vital internal organs for abnormalities.

All our scans are unenhanced/non-contrast with no dyes, needles, or injectables.

We typically ask that you are here 10-15 minutes before your appointment time to fill out any pre-appointment paperwork.

Our coronary artery calcium score reports are completed and post-processed by our ARRT registered CT technologists. They measure calcium build up located in the four main coronary arteries by area per square millimeter using the Agatston Scoring system.

Please be sure to bring your stent card for the technologist. Because our scans are noninvasive, we need to know the location of prior stents to provide you with accurate scoring results.

If you have multiple stents, you may not be a candidate for this exam. Please contact us with your stent information to be sure you qualify. Scoring accuracy may be limited since calcium and stents appear similar when visualized under CT.

Unfortunately, insurance does not cover our scans. Insurance will cover evaluations that are requested when patients have symptoms. Tragically, that is often when it’s too late. Our patients are scanning preemptively for symptomatic conditions to find these deadly diseases at the earliest possible time.

Our scans take between 5-8 minutes, but along with a consultation, we do ask that you allow 1 to 1.5 hours for your total appointment time.

All our scans are performed by an ARRT registered CT Technologist who is licensed in the state of Florida.

By utilizing I-dose™, a dose reduction software, our scanner delivers the lowest dose reasonably achievable for diagnostic results. This provides our patients with a scan that is lower in dose than traditional CT.

Our scans are read by our Board-Certified Radiologists.

Because our coronary calcium score scans are noninvasive, anyone who has undergone a CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) will not be eligible. This is due to inaccuracy in value and scoring, as well as obscured information from post-surgical changes.

The whole check-in process to the scan itself and then the results! – could not have been more efficient.
