February is Heart Health Month, and there’s no better time to focus on caring for your heart—this month and beyond ❤️

Check out our CT Cardiac Calcium Scoring exam! What is it? A CT Cardiac Calcium Scoring exam at TRA Medical Imaging is a quick, non-invasive scan that evaluates the presence and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. This exam helps detect Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and better understand your risk for heart attack—often before symptoms appear.

✨ Why it matters:
• A low calcium score indicates a lower risk of heart disease
• A higher score can be lifesaving by alerting you and your provider to the need for further evaluation

🩺 What to expect at TRA:
• A fast exam—about 15 minutes
• No injections or downtime
• Skilled technologists focused on your comfort every step of the way

💲 When ordered as a screening exam, Calcium Scoring is available for $179.40 if not covered by insurance.
In some cases, when ordered as a diagnostic exam, most insurances do provide coverage.

📞 Scheduling:
Most appointments are scheduled by your referring provider. If you are asked to schedule, please call (253) 761-4200 or (866) 761-4200, option 2.
A signed physician order is required.

This Heart Health Month, take a proactive step toward protecting your heart—today and for the future.

💝 Roses are red, violets are blue… scheduling your screening mammogram is a great thing to do!

Show your heart and your health some love with a screening mammogram—a quick, advanced exam that can detect subtle changes in breast tissue long before symptoms appear. At TRA, we use 3D mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis) to give our radiologists a more detailed, layered view of breast tissue for clearer, more accurate results. Getting screened yearly starting at age 40 can help you stay proactive about your breast health ❤️.

❤️ It’s Heart Health Month—and Mike’s story could inspire you.

A casual CT cardiac calcium scoring scan revealed critical findings for former TRA facilities technician Mike that he never expected—and set him on a path that changed his life. Today, he’s grateful for early detection and more time with the people he loves and encourages others to do the same!

This Heart Health Month, learn how one scan made all the difference.
