What is the definition or description of: cardiac ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cardiac ct for ca#: Chest ct for calcium count is unfortunately not paid for by most insurance companies, but is underutilized and can be quite valuable in determining value of statins and identifying patients at risk for coronary events.
