Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) / Coronary Calcium Scan

How CardiaSpace Supports Remote CCTA Delivery

 

CardiaSpace enables your facility to offer advanced cardiac imaging services without requiring onsite expertise. We will set up refined cardiac protocols on your facility’s eligible CT scanners, securely transfer images to our HIPAA compliant server, and provide timely interpretation of the studies. Full HL7 integration with the facility’s EMR is available depending on the EMR capability.

 

CCTA for Emergency Chest Pain Evaluation

 

Our team supports emergency departments with an evidence-based workflow for evaluation of patients with acute chest pain utilizing coronary CTA. Stat turnaround times and precise coronary evaluation allow early decision making for patients in the ED and reduce emergency department overcrowding.

 

Imaging Support for Structural Heart Procedures



Our experts can provide scan protocols and image interpretation to help structural/interventional cardiologists planning for trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), trans-catheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), Watchman device implantation and post-implantation surveillance for peri-device leak.

CCTA FAQs

What is Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA)?

CCTA is a non-invasive imaging test that uses CT technology and contrast dye to visualize the coronary arteries and detect blockages or narrowing that may indicate coronary artery disease.

How does CardiaSpace provide remote CCTA services?

We help configure your facility’s CT scanner with optimized protocols, then securely transfer scans to our core postprocessing lab for rapid interpretation by our team of cardiac imaging specialists.

Who interprets the scans at CardiaSpace?

All CCTA studies are read by U.S based, board-certified, fellowship-trained cardiologists or cardiothoracic radiologists with extensive experience in cardiac imaging.

Is the CCTA workflow compliant with HIPAA and data protection standards?

Yes, CardiaSpace maintains full HIPAA and SOC-II compliance and all data transmissions occur over secure, encrypted channels to protect patient privacy.

Can CardiaSpace integrate with our hospital EMR system?

We offer full HL7 integration to streamline reporting and data access, subject to the capabilities of your current EMR system.

What clinical scenarios is CCTA most useful for?

CCTA is ideal for evaluating acute chest pain in emergency departments, assessing stable chest pain in outpatient settings, and pre-procedural planning for TAVR, TMVR, and other structural heart interventions.

Can CardiaSpace support facilities in rural or underserved regions?

Yes. Our remote model allows us to deliver expert cardiac imaging support to hospitals and imaging centers of all sizes, regardless of location.

How quickly are results returned?

We offer stat and routine turnaround options based on your facility’s needs, with emergency reads typically delivered within an hour.

What are the benefits of CCTA compared to invasive coronary angiography?

CCTA is faster, non-invasive, and often avoids the need for hospital admission. It can rule out significant coronary disease with high accuracy and reduce unnecessary catheterizations.
