What is the test like? Is it painful or inconvenient?
Unlike many medical tests, the Heart CT Profile™ is fast, painless and non-invasive. This test and CMC’s facilities have been specifically designed with your comfort in mind. There is no preparation necessary for a heart scan. The entire process, that includes the scan and a consultation with a healthcare professional, only takes about 45 minutes. The scan process itself takes approximately 15 minutes. We ask that you come in 20 minutes prior to your scheduled exam time to register and complete some brief paperwork. Prior to the scan, you may be asked to put on a gown. There are no needles involved and no liquids to swallow. The technologist will ask you to lay on the bed of the CT scanner and they will monitor your heart rate.
