I had that test done because my PCP was being careful when I was often complaining about chest pain due to anxiety.
The test itself takes exactly 90 seconds.
Insurance did not cover it. I had to pay exactly 90.00 dollars.
I had zero blockage. It was a relief and worth the money.
(Zero blockage likely because I have been on the calcium channel blocker
Verapamil since the 1990s.)

There is some exposure to radiation and such. . . . .Some tests
have more or less than others I believe.
