In one CT acquisition, what is my coronary calcium burden, visceral fat volume, and bone mineral density?
Best for
Adults 40+ wanting structural cardiac risk, metabolic, and bone data beyond what blood biomarkers alone provide — particularly a strong next step after F1-T4's advanced biomarkers or F2's Heart Risk Screen.
Time at centre: ~15 min scanPreparation: None requiredReport: 24–48 hrsBooking: Appointment-based, eligibility screening appliesCollection: Scan: Centre only
Before you book — please read: Eligibility for this package is screening information only. Metal implants, pacemakers, claustrophobia, age, or risk profile may apply. This does not block booking — our clinical team confirms eligibility in person at your visit.
Visceral Fat Quantification — Measures metabolically active abdominal fat volume
QCT Bone Mineral Density — CT-based bone density, an alternative to DEXA
What normal doesn't rule out
the presence or absence of soft, non-calcified plaque — CAC measures calcified plaque specifically; a score of zero lowers but doesn't eliminate cardiac risk, especially in younger patients or strong risk-factor profiles.
Not included
Full cardiac structural assessment (ECHO/TMT — see F2)
DEXA-based bone density (see F8, a different modality)
Not the right fit if
you're under 40 with no risk factors, currently pregnant, or this would be your first cardiac risk assessment — start with F1 or F2 first, and consider this scan once baseline risk factors are established.
Preparation
Preparation: No contrast dye is used. Low-dose radiation exposure — inform our team if you've had recent CT scans or are pregnant/trying to conceive. || Collection & eligibility: This is acentre-only scan— no home service applies. Appointment-based; a brief eligibility screening is completed before booking to confirm appropriateness.
Result pathway
Normal
Low calcium score, normal visceral fat/bone — repeat every few years as advised
Borderline
Discuss risk-factor modification with your physician
Abnormal
Elevated calcium score → cardiology referral; low bone density → see F8 for a fuller bone workup
Urgent
Truscan's clinical team follows up per internal escalation protocol
Clinically relevant
Add-ons matched to this package — not “frequently bought”.
Strongly relevant: F1-Tier 4 Advanced Biomarkers — if not already done, pairs naturally with a structural calcium score
Sometimes relevant: F8 Bone Strength Assessment — if QCT BMD here flags something, F8's DEXA gives a second reference point
If you want more coverage
Involves low-dose radiation — most appropriate for adults with cardiometabolic risk factors, not a routine test for everyone. Discussed at booking.
