5 Reasons for Choosing HeartCam

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose the HeartCam EBCT Scanner for the Early Detection of heart disease over other Scanners

HeartCam is the only EBCT scanner in the Greater Philadelphia area. All other heart scanners, often advertised at low prices, are multi-slice CT (MSCT) scanners. EBCT is the gold standard for non-invasive heart scanning for the following reasons:

1. EBCT scanners are low radiation scanners. A typical scan delivers 1/3 the radiation compared to MSCT scanners.
   
   
2. EBCT is the only scanner that has been clinically proven to accurately measure plaque in the coronary arteries.
   
   
3. EBCT is the only scanner that is supported by clinical research. All of the published long-term studies showing that coronary calcium is a powerful predictor of risk for heart attack have been conducted on EBCT scanners. Even the 64 slice scanner is not supported by clinical research.
   
   
4. EBCT is the only scanner that accurately tracks progression in coronary calcium from year to year.
   
   
5. EBCT images are acquired in 100 milliseconds. MSCT images are usually acquired in 300 to 500 milliseconds meaning they have less accurate temporal resolution.
