CT Calcium Scoring (Coronary Calcium Score) is a specialized non-invasive CT scan that evaluates the presence and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. These calcium deposits are an indicator of atherosclerosis, which can increase the risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack.

The scan produces a calcium score that helps estimate the likelihood of significant blockage in the coronary arteries. It is commonly used as a screening tool in individuals with risk factors such as high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of heart disease.

CT Calcium Scoring does not require contrast dye and is quick, painless, and highly effective in early detection of cardiovascular risk, allowing timely preventive measures.

The purpose of CT Calcium Scoring test is to evaluate calcium deposits in the coronary arteries.

• Measure calcium buildup in coronary arteries
• Assess risk of coronary artery disease
• Detect early atherosclerosis
• Help predict risk of heart attack
• Guide preventive treatment decisions
• Monitor cardiovascular risk over time
