Cardiac CT
EBCT
) is used to detectcalcium deposits
(blockages) in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. A multidetector CT (MDCT
) takes multiple rapid scans that can show issues in the heart’s structure and pumping function.Contrast dye
is injected into a vein prior to the test to help highlight the blood vessels to create a clearer picture. The contrast dye may affect patients with pre existing kidney conditions; acardiac MRI
may be performed instead. Aradiologist
conducts CT scans with findings sent to the patient’scardiologist
. The images of the heart are used to diagnose heart disease, defects or injuries to the heart valves,blood clots
