Leading the Way in Cardiac CT – Everlight Launches Redeveloped Service to Meet Growing Demand

The British Heart Foundation estimates approximately 350,000 such studies are performed annually – a number that is only set to rise, fast outpacing the capacity currently available within NHS Trusts.

At Everlight Radiology, we understand this critical need. That's why we are incredibly proud to offer our redeveloped Cardiac CT service, spearheaded by the renowned Consultant Radiologist, Dr. Ben Ariff.

Our new service is built on a foundation of unparalleled expertise. Everlight offers a dedicated panel of Cardiac CT specialists, each accredited to British Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (BSCI) Level 2 or holding equivalent specialist fellowships in Cardiac imaging. This ensures that every CT Coronary Angiogram and Calcium Scoring report benefits from the highest level of accuracy and diagnostic insight.
