A computed-tomography scan of the heart that uses X-rays, with image timing synchronised to the heartbeat, to produce detailed images of the heart and its vessels. Cardiac CT is used as a non-invasive way to image the heart's structures and coronary arteries. At OMEGA the scan is performed on a 16-slice CT system and typically uses intravenous contrast. The appointment is a little longer than a standard CT, and a specialist radiologist reviews the images and provides a written report.

It is a non-invasive imaging method used to look at the heart's structures and vessels, and at OMEGA it is also offered within combined cardiology check-up packages for people who want a broader cardiac assessment.

You lie on your back on the scanner table with ECG leads attached so the images can be timed to your heartbeat, and you will be asked to hold your breath for a short period while the heart is scanned.
