OUR LOW-DOSE CT SCANNING HAS BEEN FEATURED IN
Heart disease causes roughly 1-in-5 deaths in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
When detected early, however, heart disease and its risk factors are highly treatable. At Life Imaging, experienced radiology specialists detect heart disease using innovative, low-dose GE CT scanning technology. Heart scans are painless, highly effective diagnostic imaging procedures that save lives.
During your screening, you will change into a hospital gown and lie on a comfortable table. While you relax, the exam table slides into a CT imaging machine to create internal images of your heart and its surrounding structures. The process lasts about 10 minutes.

Common questions about Life Imaging heart disease screening
Life Imaging CT scanning technology can detect or rule out the following heart conditions and more:
- Heart disease
- Heart attack risk factors
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Aortic aneurysms
- Calcified heart valves
- Fluid on the heart
- Congenital abnormalities of coronary arteries.
- Enlarged heart
- Heart tumors
- Heart inflammation
- Thickening of the heart membrane
- Calcified lymph nodes
- Atherosclerosis of aorta (descending/ascending)
Low-dose GE CT scanning technology is the most sensitive, effective tool for detecting and quantifying CAD. It’s more effective for this type of diagnosis than ultrasound,nuclear stress testing, physical exams, blood tests, and electrocardiograms (EKGs). The advantages of using low-dose GE CT scanning to screen for heart disease include:
- FDA approved
- Highly accurate results
- No pain, invasive procedures, or downtime
- Fast results, within hours or days
- No needles, dyes, or contrasts
- Quick, comfortable experience
- Lower doses of radiation
- 98% accuracy in detecting CAD
- No sedation required
- Earliest possible detection of CAD and other heart issues
Who is a candidate for heart disease screening?
Candidates for heart disease screening at Life Imaging are individuals with a personal or family history of heart problems and those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides. Other risk factors include lack of exercise, poor diet, stress, and being overweight or obese. Men aged 35-75 and women aged 40-75 are often candidates for heart screening.
What happens during heart disease screening?
During low-dose GE CT scanning at Life Imaging, you simply change into a hospital gown and lie on a comfortable table. While you relax and hold still, the exam table slides into a CT imaging machine to create internal images of your heart and its surrounding structures. You might need to hold your breath at certain times during screening, which often lasts about 15 minutes.
What can I expect after my heart scan?
You can resume daily activities immediately after heart disease screening at Life Imaging since there’s no downtime needed. A radiologist interprets the images and offers specialist referrals if you have signs of heart irregularities.

Life Imaging saved my life
‘In January, I went for a free CT scan and I had two stents put in my heart. The cardiologist said that within 6-9 months I would have had a stroke, died, or had a silent heart attack. Life Imaging saved my life’
A Free Scan is a No-Brainer
‘The conventional approach to medicine has it all backwards. They wait to diagnose and manage a disease after it’s developed. Life Imaging offers you an opportunity to look directly inside the body.’
They Found a Cancerous Tumor
‘I went for a scan because my mom had died of a heart attack at the end of May. I’m in perfect health, no symptoms of anything, 58 years old, non-smoker, healthy, no medication. Well, they found a cancerous tumor in my left-upper lobe of my lung. I’m told that I caught it so early that I’m going to be totally fine. Everyone is saying, including the doctor, that getting the scan saved my life.’
Our Low-Dose CT Scanner is among the safest and most accurate in the world
