Ok this is something I know about. I work for a cardiology group and we do cardiac CT's. This is not going to show anything related to lyme. The test looks for blockage in the coronary arteries by CT imaging. I assume you failed the persantine stress test.

This is a specialized test that is only done at certain facilities. IMO, it doesn't matter where you have it done, it will NOT show anything remotely related to lyme.

Wherever you go for it, don't even mention lyme. The test is purely for coronary artery disease.

I hope this helps.

Is the cat scan for a heart study? This type of cat scanner will acquire 64 sequential images in submillimeter widths every .5 sec resulting in no motion artifacts and can be reconstructed in 3D with incredible detail. 64 slice scanners are ideal for heart studies. Your doctor or radiologist may offer you examples of this imaging.
