Why are CT Scans important?
CT scans allow doctors to see images of your internal organs and structures, including your heart and cardiovascular system, in great detail from a variety of angles. This gives your physicians critical information more quickly and, in many cases, more economically than they could achieve with other tests or invasive techniques. In those cases where doctors are trying to assess the risk of heart disease, the information from the CT scan can help them uncover disease at its earliest stages, and recommend changes in lifestyle or more aggressive treatment if needed.
