Advanced Cardiac Imaging · Midtown Manhattan

See what's actually in your arteries.

Most heart attacks happen to people who passed their last stress test. Modern cardiac CT changes that — showing you not just whether there's disease, but what's there, where it is, and what to do about it. Screenings from $250.

The Screening Reality

A calcium score tells you if. A CT angiogram tells you what, where, and how much.

A calcium score is a useful starting point — it measures the calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. But calcium is only part of the story.

The plaque that causes most heart attacks in people under 60 isn't calcified. It's soft, unstable plaque — the kind a calcium score cannot see. A CT angiogram sees both. It shows you the actual artery walls, any narrowing, and every type of plaque that's there.

What most of our patients tell us

"I came in for the calcium score. Once I understood what it actually measures — and what it misses — I wanted to see the whole picture."

Why Most Patients Choose CTA

Three things a calcium score won't tell you.

If you're on this page because you're concerned about your heart, you probably want more than a number. Here's what a CT angiogram shows that a calcium score can't.

Where the plaque actually is

A calcium score gives you a total number. A CT angiogram shows which arteries
are affected, how much of each is narrowed, and exactly where the disease lives — the information your cardiologist actually needs to make a plan.

The soft plaque that causes heart attacks

Most heart attacks under age 60 are caused by soft, non-calcified plaque — invisible to a calcium score. A CT angiogram sees it clearly. A score of zero doesn't always mean a clean bill of health, especially for younger patients.

Actionable detail, not just a risk estimate

A calcium score is a screening tool — it tells you roughly how worried to be. A CT angiogram is a diagnostic-grade scan — it tells your physician exactly what to treat, monitor, or leave alone. One scan, a decade of information.

Book & Coordinate

Call our concierge team or fill out the form. We verify your program, arrange any physician order required, and schedule — typically within one week.

Scan in the Private Suite

Arrive at 80th & Park. No shared waiting rooms. The imaging itself takes 15–30 minutes on an open-ring CT table, depending on program.

A detailed report — plain-English summary, physician interpretation, and next-step recommendations —
delivered within 48 hours.

What to Expect

Your visit, in order

No tubes. No needles for the calcium score. IV contrast for CTA and Cleerly takes under a minute and is out of your system within hours.

Private Check-In

You're greeted by your coordinator, not a front desk. Paperwork is minimal — we've done most of it in advance.

2

Brief Prep

Three small ECG leads placed on your chest sync the scanner to your heartbeat. For CTA and Cleerly, a small IV is placed for contrast.

3

Open-Ring CT Scan

You'll lie on an open-ring table — no enclosed tube, no claustrophobia. The scan itself is over in seconds; you hold your breath briefly while it captures.

Detailed Report in 48 Hours

Your full report — score, percentile (or for CTA/Cleerly, complete plaque analysis), physician interpretation, and recommended next steps — arrives within two business days.

Before Your Scan

How to Prepare

Simple prep. Your coordinator sends full instructions when you book.

Day of Your Scan

  • Wear comfortable clothing without metal on the chest (no underwires, zippers, or metallic prints)
  • Avoid caffeine for 4 hours before your appointment
  • Arrive 10 minutes early for a brief check-in
  • Bring a photo ID; insurance card optional (our programs are flat-fee)

Before Your Visit

  • Eat and drink normally — no fasting required
  • Continue all daily medications as prescribed
  • For CTA/Cleerly: notify us of any prior contrast reaction
  • Let us know if your resting heart rate is typically over 90 bpm

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a calcium score of zero miss something?
Yes. A calcium score only measures calcified plaque. Soft, non-calcified plaque — which causes a meaningful share of heart attacks, especially in patients under 60 — is invisible to it. A score of zero is reassuring, but it doesn't rule out early, non-calcified coronary disease. A CT angiogram does.
Is the radiation dose safe?
Yes. A calcium score delivers approximately 1 mSv — comparable to a digital mammogram. A CT angiogram is slightly higher (3–5 mSv), still well within diagnostic imaging norms. Our detectors use dose-modulation to minimize exposure for every patient.
Do I need a physician referral?
The calcium score does not require a referral. CT Angiography and Cleerly Plaque Analysis require a physician order under New York State guidelines. If you don't have a referring physician, our clinical coordination team can arrange one.
How long does the appointment take?
Plan on about 30 minutes total for a calcium score. A CT angiogram or Cleerly scan takes approximately 45–60 minutes, including time for IV placement, scanning, and brief monitoring after contrast.
Is this covered by insurance?
All three programs are offered as flat out-of-pocket fees. Receipts are HSA/FSA-eligible, and some insurance plans reimburse a portion when billed retrospectively. The value of our pricing is transparency and speed — no prior authorizations, no surprise bills.
How are my results delivered?
Your full report is emailed to you (and your referring physician, if you've designated one) within 48 hours. For patients who want it, our physician team will schedule a follow-up call to walk you through the findings in plain English.
Who reads the scans?
Every scan is interpreted by a board-certified radiologist with subspecialty training in cardiac imaging. Cleerly reports additionally include AI-powered plaque characterization, which the radiologist reviews and confirms before sign-off.
