Electron beam tomography (EBT): Electron beam tomography of heart

Your heart has been examined using electron beam computed tomography.

Electron beam computed tomography is a special CT scan.

A CT scan involves sending X-ray beams through the body. Measurements are then taken to see how much of these beams are getting to the other side of the body. A computer then converts the measurements into images of the inside of the body.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
