I believe most imaging centers allow copies for personal use, if a CT tech or doctor at the imaging location won’t tell you if you have breast arterial calcifications.

This option will not catch calcium plaque formations earlier than a coronary calcium scan, but if you find them, you likely have them in other locations, such as your heart.

It’s nice, because there is no extra radiation from a second chest scan, needed.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

I’m shocked they are still suing mammograms. I remember reading 20 years ago that they would be replaced by something safer and more effective.

Makes sense. This should have been figured out decades ago.
