About Cardiac CTA A cardiac CTA is a scan of the chest that focuses on the heart. We use a 64 slice scanner that provides pictures with pixel size of 0.6 mm. This allows us to obtain 3-D images of the heart with unsurpassed detail. The scan produces images of the coronary arteries which are the vessels involved in heart attacks. The purpose of the test is to find blockages of these arteries, a condition known as coronary artery disease.
