Book Your Appointment
Advanced diagnostics should help answer a clear question about your health. Explore cardiac CTA with Cleerly and whole-body MRI. Then discuss whether either study fits your history, concerns, and goals.
Start by asking what your provider hopes to learn and how the result could change your care. Also discuss the study’s limits, possible risks, and alternatives. The goal is to understand the reason for a test before deciding whether to proceed.
Before scheduling, ask who will review the report with you and how you will receive it. Discuss what happens if a finding needs another visit or test. Bring prior reports when available so your care team has the context for your questions.
For practical planning, review pricing and insurance information and ask about the specific study’s cost. You can book a consultation to discuss the next step with Alpha Hormones.
Cardiac CTA with Cleerly integrates advanced CT angiography and AI analysis to offer detailed insights into heart health. This non-invasive technology identifies plaque types and evaluates cardiovascular risks accurately, enabling personalized preventive strategies. Available at Alpha Hormones® in Pasadena, it aims to enhance patient health through early detection and ongoing monitoring.
Whole Body MRI is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging technique that provides high-resolution images of the body, aiding in early disease detection and preventive health assessments. Offered at Alpha Hormones® in Pasadena, it evaluates multiple organs and supports wellness through personalized consultations and integrative health strategies, promoting longevity and optimal health.
Imaging makes sense when it can answer a clear question about your health, such as cardiovascular risk based on your history and labs. Your provider will discuss whether a study fits your situation and what alternatives exist.
Cardiac CTA uses CT and contrast dye to image the heart arteries, and Cleerly software analyzes plaque. Whole-body MRI uses magnets and no radiation to image many organs at once. They answer different questions.
Cardiac CTA involves radiation and contrast dye, which is not right for everyone. Whole-body MRI can find incidental findings that lead to more tests and worry, and it does not replace recommended cancer screenings.
These studies are performed at outside imaging centers. After a consultation, if imaging is appropriate, your Alpha Hormones® provider places the order and refers you to a qualified imaging facility.
Coverage depends on your plan and the medical reason for the study. Cardiac CTA may be covered when medically indicated, while screening whole-body MRI is usually self-pay. Ask the imaging center about the cost before scheduling.
A radiologist at the imaging center interprets the images, and your Alpha Hormones® provider reviews the report with you, explains the findings and plans any follow-up.
