Centers of Excellence
The goals of the Centers of Excellence program are the development
of a world class cardiovascular calcium scoring and/or CIMT
screening program, increased appropriate patient volumes, improved
patient outcomes, and notoriety and recognition for participating
Centers of Excellence.
To be considered for certification, a site must be committed to
improving patient outcomes through early detection and prevention of
CAD.
A primary goal of the program is to increase appropriate utilization
of coronary artery calcium scoring or carotid IMT through
appropriate patient selection by referring physicians. Secondary
goals include standardization of image acquisition, reporting, and
patient management, national and local site recognition, the
development of a Centers of Excellence Network, CAD prevention data
acquisition and benchmarking, and reimbursement when available.

Preventive Imaging is an extension of 30 years of preventive
cardiology in an ever-evolving evidence based effort to
reduce the tragic and debilitating rate of death and
debilitating toll of heart attack and stroke. We have used
EBCT, a very low cost, extremely low dose radiation, highly
accurate imaging modality to detect what SHAPE has done so
well at prostheletizing as the major factor which identifies
the people at risk of heart attack and stroke: the presence
of atherosclerosis and plaque in the heart and brain blood
vessels. Bluntly put, the people at risk are the ones with
blockages, and our Center of Excellence is dedicated to
finding those individuals and applying preventive therapies
to them. |
