A heart scan is a noninvasive procedure that shows the amount of calcified plaque you have in your coronary arteries. Currently, two types of heart scanners are being used. The first is the multislice computed tomography (CT) scanner, which creates an extremely detailed cross-sectional image of your arteries using x-ray cameras. The second is the electron-beam tomography (EBT) scanner, which creates images of the heart using an electron gun.
