The new code can be used for hospital outpatient, physician offices, or imaging centers. HeartFlow’s suite of non-invasive technologies helps clinicians identify stenoses in the coronary arteries (RoadMap Analysis), assess coronary blood flow (FFRCT Analysis), and characterize and quantify coronary atherosclerosis (Plaque Analysis).

Advanced scanners provide detailed insights into plaque progression and stabilization. By doing so, we can monitor plaque progression or stabilization. Referral process and challenges When patients need cardiac imaging but lack access to an in-house facility, they are often referred to hospitals or outpatient centers.

A chest x-ray in the ED found bilateral pleural effusions. The patient’s BNP was 738, and his D-dimer was elevated, prompting a CT scan to rule out PE.
