"This 15-minute scan saved my life."

A Quick, Painless Scan Could Save Your Life
For Wendy, this scan didn’t just confirm a zero-risk heart score—it also revealed lung cancer, leading to early treatment and saving her life. During her DEXA scan appointment, Wendy learned about the SmartHeart scan at Princeton Radiology.
I said, sure. Why not? The calcium score was zero, but the radiologist came in with bad news. The shock that followed probably consumed all my memories. I'm a healthy person with no medical issues, and to find out you have lung cancer is quite shocking.
People are probably reticent to go ahead with it, but I think if you have a family history and you know that it's so noninvasive, quick, and inexpensive, then why don't you do it?
Here I am, three years and change later and it's just a new lease on life.
Why Schedule a SmartHeart Exam?
You might think of a SmartHeart exam as just a heart scan—but at Princeton Radiology, we look beyond.
A SmartHeart exam will provide you with a risk assessment based on calcified plaque in your coronary arteries; It can also detect other critical findings, such as:
- Thoracic aneurysms
- Aortic atherosclerosis
- Heart valve calcification
- Cardiac enlargement
- Lung nodules that are near the heart muscle (for those at risk for lung cancer, a dedicated lung screening CT is recommended)
This 15-minute, non-invasive scan for just $99 is recommended for men 40+ and women 50+ or anyone with risk factors.
Take charge of your health by requesting your own SmartHeart scan.
