Real Patient Stories
“I Had No Symptoms… And the Scan Showed I Had a Blockage.”
A routine CT Heart Scan revealed what no symptoms could.
Alan considered himself healthy. He stayed active, walked daily, square danced several times a week, and had no warning signs of heart disease.
Because of his family history, his physician recommended a CT Heart Scan at Image One.
The scan revealed a severe blockage in one of the heart’s main arteries, allowing his care team to intervene before it became a life changing cardiac event.
Watch Alan’s story and hear from Dr. Milind Parikh, Director of Cardiac CT Imaging, and Dr. Darren Farnesi as they explain how advanced coronary CT angiography helped detect heart disease before symptoms appeared.
Why This Story Matters
Heart disease can develop silently.
Nearly 50% of people who experience a heart attack have no symptoms beforehand.
At Image One, our preventive cardiac imaging combines advanced CT technology with specialized cardiac expertise to detect plaque and significant blockages before they lead to a heart attack, giving patients the opportunity to seek treatment earlier.

EXCELLENT Based on 961 reviews Posted on Google Lorena HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have come several times to CISD for my exams. The staff is professional, dedicated, and friendly. Appointments are available. The service is fast and on time. Parking is a little packed, but you can usually find a spot. There is a free service during the day that can take you from the bus stop of Sharp Hospital to the medical building where CISD and other medical offices are located.
