The EBCT stands for Electron Beam Computed Tomography Scan. It is a type of CAT scan that can detect calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. The purpose of this study is to determine whether EBCT is a useful test for the Army to include in the over 40 physical- as a means to detect personnel at risk for future heart disease. More in depth information on EBCT is available from the American College of Cardiology’s Scientific Statement on EBCT.
