Advanced CT Heart Scans with HeartFlow Analysis for Early Detection
At Wisteria Imaging, we offer advanced CT heart scans, also known as calcium scoring, and HeartFlow® Analysis to help detect coronary artery disease in its earliest stages. These non-invasive imaging tools provide critical insight into your heart health, often before any symptoms appear. With rapid scheduling, low-dose CT technology, and affordable pricing, our goal is to make preventive heart screening simple, accessible, and accurate.
HeartFlow® Analysis: A Non-Invasive View of Blood Flow
For patients whose CT scan reveals a potential blockage, Wisteria Imaging offers HeartFlow® Analysis: an advanced tool that provides a 3D model of your coronary arteries and simulates blood flow to assess whether blockages are actually restricting circulation.
This FDA-approved technology gives cardiologists a clearer understanding of which lesions are functionally significant, potentially avoiding the need for invasive procedures like cardiac catheterization. HeartFlow is safe, completely non-invasive, and often covered by insurance when medically appropriate.
What Is a CT Heart Scan?
A CT heart scan uses low-dose computed tomography (CT) to identify calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. Calcium is an early marker of coronary artery disease (CAD), and its presence can increase your risk of heart attack or other cardiac events. The scan produces a calcium score, which helps your physician estimate the extent of calcified plaque in your arteries and determine your risk level.
This test is fast, non-invasive, and does not require contrast dye or needles. Results are typically shared with your referring physician to guide any next steps in care.
What to Expect During Your CT Heart Scan
The CT heart scan itself takes less than 10 minutes. You’ll lie comfortably on a table while the scanner captures images of your heart. There is no special preparation required, and you can return to normal activities immediately after. If HeartFlow Analysis is recommended, it is conducted using the data already collected during your scan; there is no need for a second visit or additional imaging.
Insurance, Self-Pay, and Affordable Out-of-Pocket Options
We accept most major insurance plans, and our team is happy to verify your benefits before your appointment. If you’re uninsured or have a high-deductible plan, Wisteria Imaging offers transparent, competitive self-pay pricing with no surprise bills.
We also offer bundled Health Prevention Packages that include mammography, DEXA scans, and calcium scoring for patients who want a more comprehensive look at their health.

Who Should Consider a CT Heart Scan?
This screening is ideal for individuals without symptoms of heart disease but who may be at risk based on personal or family history. Men over 40 and women over 50, especially those with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, a history of smoking, or a family history of heart disease, may benefit from calcium scoring.
If you are already experiencing symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue, you should speak to your doctor, as a different diagnostic approach may be necessary.
