Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Risk Assessment
Preventive Screening for Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Xi’an IMC | Siemens SOMATOM Force Coronary CTA | Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3.0T Brain MRA | Carotid Doppler Ultrasound | Lipid Panel + Homocysteine | English Specialist Consultation
- US: referral, specialist booking, and scan scheduling may result in a total wait of 3–6 months for coronary CTA
- UK NHS vascular imaging pathways may take 6–12 months; brain MRA may take even longer
- Preventive screening for asymptomatic adults is often not covered, reducing screening uptake
- Many patients defer early risk assessment because of cost, waiting time, and fragmented testing
- Appointment within 2–3 working days
- Coronary CTA, brain MRA, carotid ultrasound, and laboratory screening can be completed in one visit
- Ultrasound report available immediately; CT/MR reports within 24 hours
- English specialist consultation arranged within 24 hours after exams
Combines coronary, cerebral, and carotid assessment to support earlier cardiovascular risk identification.
Provides high-resolution structural assessment of coronary arteries, intracranial vessels, and carotid plaque burden.
Clear explanation of vascular risk findings, plaque status, and next-step prevention strategy.
| Examination | Equipment / Technology | Clinical Value |
|---|---|---|
| Coronary CTA | Siemens SOMATOM Force dual-source CT Heart-rate adaptive scan, radiation dose <3 mSv |
Evaluates coronary artery stenosis, calcification, and plaque burden in a fast, high-resolution preventive screening pathway. |
| Brain MRA | Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3.0T 3D TOF sequence + high-resolution vessel wall imaging |
Assesses intracranial vascular anatomy and supports evaluation of aneurysm, stenosis, and cerebrovascular risk. |
| Carotid Ultrasound | Philips EPIQ 7 color Doppler IMT measurement + plaque assessment |
Measures carotid intima-media thickness and identifies plaque formation for stroke risk stratification. |
| Lipid Panel + Homocysteine | Roche cobas 8000 LDL, HDL, ApoB, and related markers |
Supports metabolic cardiovascular risk assessment alongside imaging findings. |
| Specialist Consultation (English) | Senior physician (Associate Chief Physician level or above) | English consultation with cardiovascular risk summary, imaging interpretation, and preventive recommendations. |
* Contrast-enhanced vascular imaging requires advance renal function review and contrast safety assessment. Blood sampling for liver and kidney function is completed before imaging when needed.
- Appointment: within 2–3 working days
- Reserve half a day for the visit, including waiting time
- Coronary CTA: ~15 min; brain MRA: ~20 min; carotid ultrasound: ~15 min
- Carotid ultrasound report: same day
- CT/MR reports: within 24 hours
- English consultation: within 24 hours after exams
- Preventive planning and lifestyle guidance can be discussed immediately after review

Transparent package pricing with a strong cost advantage over typical overseas cardiovascular screening pathways.
* Pricing ranges vary by country, contrast protocol, and screening bundle structure. This is a simplified comparison.
A faster route from preventive concern to coronary, cerebral, and carotid vascular assessment.
* Waiting times vary by referral pathway, contrast preparation, and scanner capacity. The IMC workflow is designed for timely preventive screening.
Online intake and appointment confirmation
Renal review and contrast preparation guidance provided in English
Private transfer + English assistance
Blood testing for liver and kidney function completed before contrast imaging when needed
After fasting-related items are completed, light breakfast and comfort breaks can be arranged
English consultation with structured cardiovascular risk report
Lifestyle intervention guidance and a 6-month follow-up reminder can be arranged
Dual-source CT platform for high-quality coronary CTA with adaptive scanning and lower radiation exposure.
Supports intracranial vascular imaging and carotid plaque evaluation within one coordinated vascular assessment pathway.
Senior physician consultation with risk stratification, plaque interpretation, and prevention planning.
Who should consider this vascular risk assessment?
This program is particularly relevant for middle-aged and older adults, people with hypertension, diabetes, smoking history, high cholesterol, family history, or those seeking proactive vascular screening.
Do I need preparation before coronary CTA?
Yes. Renal function and contrast safety need to be reviewed in advance. Blood tests may be completed before the scan, and fasting-related instructions are provided before the visit.
How quickly will I receive results?
Carotid ultrasound results are typically available the same day. CT and MR reports are usually issued within 24 hours, followed by English specialist consultation within 24 hours after exams.
What happens if plaque or vascular narrowing is found?
You will receive a structured risk explanation and recommendations for preventive management, follow-up intervals, and, when necessary, referral for further specialist care.
