Wondering about the CT scan test for the heart? What is the difference between CT Coronary Angiogram (CTCA) and the CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CAC Score), two commonly used non-invasive diagnostic tools for assessing cardiac health? This article explores these two imaging techniques' differences, limitations, and indications. A CT Coronary Angiogram is a specialized computed tomography (CT) scan that captures detailed images of the coronary arteries. It uses intravenous contrast dye to highlight blood vessels, allowing physicians to evaluate blood flow and identify any narrowing or blockages due to plaque build-up. The coronary artery calcium score measures the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. It uses a non-contrast CT scan to quantify calcium deposits, which are then used to calculate a score. A higher score indicates a higher risk of future cardiac events.
