The Complete Metabolic Heart Scan measures key metabolic and cardiovascular markers, identifying actual disease rather than just assessing risk, as blood or genetic tests do.

Traditional risk assessments for heart disease rely on blood tests, genetics, and family history, but these only estimate probability—not actual disease. CT Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scoring allows you to see the disease itself by measuring calcified plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. This non-invasive scan provides a direct visualization of early atherosclerosis, helping to identify individuals at risk for heart attacks and cardiovascular events—even if their cholesterol and other markers appear normal. By knowing your CAC score, you and your doctor can create a targeted prevention plan to slow or reverse plaque progression and optimize heart health before symptoms develop.


Cardiovascular disease risk isn’t just about cholesterol levels or family history—it’s about the actual condition of your arteries. CT Calculated Arterial Age translates coronary artery calcium (CAC) score into an easily understandable metric: the biological age of your arteries. Since calcium buildup in the arteries can develop at different rates based on factors like age, sex, and genetics, this test provides a more personalized assessment of vascular health. By comparing arterial age to chronological age, individuals can better understand their true cardiovascular risk and take proactive steps to slow or even reverse vascular aging through lifestyle and medical interventions.


Liver fat accumulation is a critical indicator of metabolic health, often preceding conditions like insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. CT Liver Fat Quantification provides an objective measurement of hepatic fat content, allowing for early detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its progression. Unlike traditional blood markers that estimate liver health, this scan directly visualizes fat deposition, helping to identify individuals at risk before symptoms arise. By quantifying fat levels, patients and clinicians can track lifestyle and therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing liver fat and improving overall metabolic health.


Bone fractures and osteoporosis often develop silently over time, leading to serious health complications if undetected. CT Bone Mineral Density scanning provides a highly accurate assessment of bone strength by directly measuring bone density and structural integrity. Similar to a traditional DEXA scan, this test is especially valuable for individuals at risk of osteoporosis due to aging, genetics, or metabolic conditions, empowering proactive steps toward bone health preservation and fracture prevention.
