EBT Technology
For the first time in EBT cardiovascular preventive history, plaque can be seen as small as 1 millimeter in size years or decades before substantial build up develops that results in heart attack or surgery. This enable you and your health care provider to take a proactive approach to your cardiovascular health.
According to the American Heart Association, the calcium score generated by the ViaScan is "the most powerful predictor" of future coronary events in apparently healthy people. The Wall Street Journal listed the ViaScan EBT heart scan as one of the "Five Tests Worth Paying For."
If plaque is detected, then an iodine contrast is injected and a virtual angiogram enables you to see the degree of plaque blockage with accurate imaging. With ViaScan, you can see the plaque in the arteries before your options are limited to stents (70%

Over the last couple of decades, other methods have been developed as ways to better detect atherosclerotic disease before it becomes symptomatic. These have included both (a) anatomic detection methods and (b) physiologic measurement methods.
Examples of anatomic methods include: (1) coronary calcium scoring by computed tomography, (2) carotid IMT (intimal medial thickness) measurement by ultrasound, e.g. IntiMaTe, and (3) IVUS. [source www.wikipedia.com]
Test's Ability to detect Arterial Plaque
See the Plaque, Treat the Plaque, Live a Better Life.
At ViaScan, we provide you with an individualized health care program that has the potential to reduce the plaque in 30% of individuals, stop the accumulation of plaque in 60% or slow the accumulation of plaque in 90% of the individuals. If left untreated, plaque will accumulate at rate of 40% each year.
