Banner Imaging is helping patients to detect potential coronary blockages sooner than would traditionally be identified with current imaging methods.
The patient undergoes an imaging test, and the data from that procedure is used to create a color-coded 3D model depicting the health of the patient’s coronary (heart) arteries. Red on the model indicates more artery blockage, and blue indicates a healthier artery.
This program is in conjunction with HeartFlow. The procedure is non-invasive and helps physicians determine if a patient’s heart is receiving the blood flow it needs to function properly.
Dr. Ben Benson, a radiologist at Banner Imaging, joined Arizona Horizon to further explain the procedure and its benefits.
