Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a heart-imaging test that helps to determine whether fatty deposits or calcium deposits have built up in the patient’s coronary arteries, the arteries that supply blood flow to the heart. The equipment and professional expertise available at San Diego Imaging provides patients with the latest scanning technology of the heart and coronary […]

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is an imaging test used to visualize blood flow in major blood vessels throughout the body in areas such as the brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis, arms and legs.  The minimally invasive procedure involves injecting contrast material into a small peripheral vein with a tiny needle. A CTA is used to visualize […]

A Coronary Calcium Scoring CT exam is used to detect the presence or absence of calcium in the walls of the coronary (heart) arteries. These specks of calcium are called calcifications. Calcifications in the coronary arteries may be an early sign of coronary artery disease.   Over time, these calcified plaques may harden or rupture. Hardened plaque […]

What is lung cancer screening? Screening examinations are tests performed to find disease before symptoms begin. The goal of screening is to detect disease at its earliest and most treatable stage. In lung cancer screening, individuals who have a high risk of developing lung cancer but no signs or symptoms of the disease undergo low-dose […]

Virtual Colonoscopy images are obtained with low dose radiation CT scanning.   After the images are obtained, a powerful computer reconstructs a series of 3D images of the colon that one of our qualified and experienced radiologists can view from multiple angles. Once the images are reconstructed, our radiologist will interpret the results and report the […]
