Cardiac Scanning

Cardiac Scanning

>Portsmouth Regional Hospital now offers the Comprehensive Cardiac Scan as a direct-to-consumer service available through our Radiology Department.

Both men and women can benefit from a Comprehensive Cardiac Scan. Cardiac scanning uses CT technology to provide a detailed picture of the heart and an early warning about calcifications and blockages to the heart's arteries, so there is time to consult with a physician and take action to prevent a heart attack. Cardiac scanning is easy, painless and non-invasive. Performed in a single sweep, the complete test, including consultation with a Board-certified radiologist, takes about an hour.

The Comprehensive Cardiac Scan is a screening tool for people who have not been previously diagnosed with heart disease. It should never take the place of other diagnostic testing recommended by your doctor. The Comprehensive Cardiac Scan is a private-pay service not covered by health insurance, so a physician referral is not necessary. Please call 603-433-4964, Monday-Friday, 8:30AM - 5:00 PM for more information or to make an appointment.
