Default Ebct--

--involves three dimensional CT imaging of the coronary arteries for calcium deposits in order to image early disease; it was developed as a less invasive way of detecting this than the usual stress testing or treadmill testing (as I've had the latter done--with good results--I would be interested in something that isn't as tiring, injecting, and time intensive).

Not sure what the numbers, mean, though--there are no units given (or indications of a percentage)?
