Cardiac CT scan technology at University of Utah Health Care is reaching unbelievable 21st century capabilities. Remarkable imaging, far less invasive, and safer radiation exposure.
Just had one of these. Went to the ER with Chest pressure and they performed one. It was as easy as a CT scan. Only thing your heart rate has to be in the lower 50 BPM and you do have to take a NITRO pill before they put the dye in. Nitro can give you a headache but for me it was no problem. If your having one.. Good luck to ya. Mine came back fine ..at least that's what they told me. I am following up with a cardiologist tomorrow which they say is standard procedure.
