I have No Risk Factors—
-The heartscan's value in individuals at very low risk is that of a screening test searching for unexpected amounts of plaque and an opportunity for risk reduction that couldn't have been anticipated by a clinician. As a "mammogram of the heart", this is a legitimate use of the EBT scanner as about 10% of such individuals have an alarming amount of plaque. It is unlikely that insurance will cover the pure screening uses of these tests.
