Revolutionizing Heart Disease Detection: The Power of Multi Slice CT Coronary Angiography

Heart disease affects one in four people, often without symptoms. A new imaging technology, Multi Slice Computer Tomography Coronary Angiography (MSCT), offers advanced heart imaging. MSCT uses 64 sensors and rapid scanning to provide clear images of the heart, even in motion. Doctor Norman Lepore in Los Angeles uses MSCT to detect early signs of plaque in arteries. This imaging allows visualization of soft tissue and detailed heart analysis, aiding in early detection and treatment of heart disease.
