Cardiac Calcium Score
Offered in:
- Logan
- Tooele
A cardiac calcium score is a quick, non-invasive CT that detects calcium in the coronary arteries. There’s no contrast and the scan typically takes less than 15 minutes. Your score helps you and your provider understand your risk for heart-disease, heart attack, or stroke, and guide prevention. This test supports early detection and can offer peace of mind when it comes to your heart health.
Many insurance companies do not cover the CAC which is why we offer a transparent and upfront cost.

Went in several times to get lots of different xrays and Ashley is the best. Super friendly and super super great at her job. Love how fast and friendly she is.

I broke my ankle and needed an x-ray and later an MRI. The staff was friendly and professional, and did all the insurance work before so I had no surprises and the price was reasonable. The experience was convenient and pleasant and my doctor got the images quickly to go over them with me.

The staff is amazing and friendly, Rylee was so helpful in explaining my payment options and was very kind. Paige and Ashley were also super friendly! In my experience it is much cheaper to go here than a hospital.

I have worked in imaging IT for a long time. I won't say that I know all imaging practices, but I do know many in Columbus, Atlanta, Charlotte, Knoxville, and even the ones that are in Northern Utah. I personally have been to about 10 for procedures. Without a doubt I prefer First Choice imaging ... Seriously, this is the best Imaging Center with the best people who are there for each patient.

Love this office, I have two teenage boys who are athletes and are in constant need of some type of Dr. visit. From the time I call the friendliest staff, Kim has always been helpful in finding me an appointment that will work with my schedule, and her dedication to trying to get approvals for my insurance is unmatched. The visit is always quick and painless and always feel like we are cared for when visiting.

The staff is amazing! The gals up front we’re so sweet & very friendly. I went in to see Ashley for a CT scan and she was so good at what she does. Made me feel comfortable & very knowledgeable. I would seriously go in to get another CT scan done just to chat with her. Super sweet. Overall very clean, friendly & caring staff.

The reason I chose First Choice Imaging was for the cost. The cost cannot be beat. The cost was half of what it would have been with my health insurance.
The employees were awesome and professional.
