Once your Cardio Check scan is completed, your
images will be sent to the radiologist for review. You and your
physician will receive a report discussing the radiologist’s
findings. The report summarizes your coronary score, diagnosis,
probability of coronary artery disease, implications for cardiovascular

With this information,
your doctor can recommend the appropriate treatment. This may
