"EBCT has undergone a 20-year period of testing for reliability and validity and is now established as a useful technique in identifying individuals with or at risk for Coronary Heart Disease." - A Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association Committee on Cardiovascular Imaging and Intervention, Council on Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention, and Committee on Cardiac Imaging, Council on Clinical Cardiology |

"I believe that this is the ideal cardiac screening test. It's safe, fast (10 - 15 minutes), painless (similar to having a chest x-ray), affordable, and able to detect the heart disease process years before a treadmill test or before you might ever feel a symptom." George T. Kondos, M.D. Associate Chief of Cardiology University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center |

We have to look directly at the disease itself, at the coronary arteries, noninvasively, in a quick and inexpensive way. We have to image the coronaries and see the people who are developing atherosclerosis and treat them aggressively. There is enough evidence now to recommend mass screening. Coronary Artery Screening is 98% accurate for excluding significant obstructive disease. I call it the Mammogram of the heart." Arthur S. Agatston, M.D. Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Author, The South Beach Diet and The South Beach Heart Program |
