About Us

A Computed Tomography (CT) Coronary Angiogram is a non-invasive diagnostic test that provides detailed images of the coronary arteries, which are responsible for delivering blood to the heart. The test is valuable in identifying and assessing coronary artery plaque—cholesterol or calcium buildup in the arterial walls—which can lead to the narrowing of arteries. This imaging technique is typically used to evaluate symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. It is also requested following abnormal results from other tests like an ECG or echocardiogram, or as a preparatory step before heart surgeries such as valve replacement. This procedure is always done at a specialist Radiology Centre.

A Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score is a non-invasive test that measures the amount of calcium plaque in your heart's arteries. The higher the calcium score, the greater your risk of a future heart attack. This test provides a personalized assessment of your cardiac risk, even before symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath appear. By identifying coronary artery calcium, the CAC Score enables proactive strategies to reduce the risk of heart attacks. It is ideal for asymptomatic patients, particularly those with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease. This test is conducted at a specialist radiology center.
