FAQs
A calcium score scan is a quick, non-invasive CT scan that detects calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. Your result is a number called a coronary artery calcium, or CAC, score.
It detects calcified plaque. It does not show soft plaque or provide the same detailed view of artery narrowing as a CCTA scan. A score of zero means no calcified plaque was found.
It is most useful for people without symptoms who want a clearer understanding of their heart risk, especially when decisions about preventive treatment are uncertain. It is not designed to evaluate active symptoms such as chest pain. We check your eligibility before scheduling.
We handle your referral and scheduling at an ACR-accredited center. It’s a quick scan with no IV contrast dye used. The imaging center will provide any instructions you need before your appointment.
A board-certified radiologist reads your scan. Then, a doctor reviews your results with you and explains what your score may mean for your next steps.
Deciding if you should take a statin?
A positive calcium score indicates presence of plaque. It can help you decide whether you should be taking a statin.
