NCCT Calcium Scoring is a non-contrast CT examination that detects and measures calcified plaque in the coronary arteries to assess coronary atherosclerosis and help refine cardiovascular risk assessment, supporting preventive cardiac care and selected treatment decisions.
Disclaimer: Result availability is subject to the laboratory's schedule and test availability.
Calcium scoring is primarily a risk-assessment examination rather than a test for every patient with chest pain. People with symptoms such as chest pain may require other cardiac investigations, depending on the clinical assessment.
It may be considered in selected adults with cardiovascular risk factors, particularly when the individual's overall cardiovascular risk is uncertain and additional information could help guide preventive care decisions.
Relevant factors may include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, excess weight, physical inactivity, and a family history of premature heart disease. The decision also depends on the person's overall cardiovascular risk.
Yes. Inform your doctor and the CT team if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, because the examination uses X-ray radiation.
