Our Cardiac Imaging Services
CT Coronary Angiogram (CTCA)
A CTCA is a specialised, non-invasive scan that uses contrast dye to create detailed images of your coronary arteries. It can identify narrowing, blockages, or abnormalities that may lead to heart disease. CTCA is completed in under 30 minutes.
Coronary Calcium Score
A quick, non-contrast scan that measures calcium buildup in your arteries, an important indicator of future heart disease risk. Ideal for people with risk factors such as high cholesterol, diabetes, family history, or high blood pressure.
Echocardiogram
A safe, painless ultrasound study that assesses heart valves, chamber size, pumping function, and blood flow.

Why CTCA?
CTCA offers several advantages over invasive coronary angiography, including:
- Non-invasive procedure
- No catheter insertion
- Fast and highly accurate

For many patients, CTCA can confidently rule out significant coronary artery disease.
