CT Scan
CT Scan sometimes called CAT scanning is a painless and a non-invasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. CT uses a very thin special X-ray beam to produce detailed, cross sectional views of the area being studied. The images can be examined on a computer or printed. CT is often the preferred method of diagnosing causes of pain and many different forms of cancer. CT of the internal organs, bone, blood vessels and soft tissue provide greater clarity than conventional x-ray exams.

Cardiac Calcium Score
Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries that carry blood and oxygen to the heart become clogged with plaque. This plaque build-up slows the flow of blood to the heart muscle causing ischemia and increasing the chance of heart failure. Your calcium score provides a general indication of the degree to which your coronary arteries have been narrowed. In general, a high score indicates a greater plaque load and an increased risk of a heart attack. Early detection is the key and NIC can assist you in that goal.

Patients with prior adverse contrast reaction MUST have their referring physician contact our office about premedication.
Patients over 65 years MUST have lab results for BUN and CREATININE within the previous 30 days.
Patients with a history of diabetes or kidney disease MUST have lab results for BUN and CREATININE within the previous 30 days.
Patients on Glucophage or Glucovance should withhold these medications for 48 hours following IV contrast (Consult your physician before restarting).
Patients requiring oral contrast:
If your doctor is requesting an abdominal CT, you may need to drink contrast solution 2 hours prior to the exam. Please review with your doctor and you may pick up a bottle at least two hours prior to your scheduled exam at 3T Imaging. If you are unable to pick up the contrast, please arrive two hours before your appointment to drink the contrast.
