Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, but early detection can save lives.

The Cardiac CT procedure can discover heart disease and its warning signs much earlier than ever before.

It takes 64 images of the heart while it's beating, allowing doctors to analyze three dimensional images. They can then detect abnormal levels of calcium, early plaque formation, and significant blockages.
