Cardiac Imaging

CTCA is the gold standard for:

• Detecting the early build-up of plaque or calcium in the artery walls.

• Identifying blockages or narrowing of the arteries (coronary artery disease).

• Evaluating the cause of chest pain or shortness of breath.

Our CTCA Specialist: Dr Prasanna Venkataraman

At Melbourne Cardiology Group, our CTCA services are overseen by Dr Prasanna Venkataraman, a consultant heart failure and imaging cardiologist.

Dr Prasanna is an expert in cardiac CT and risk assessment, providing patient-centred care across all our locations. He consults at our rooms in Malvern, Vermont South, and Leongatha, and holds a public appointment at Northern Health.

While the CTCA scan itself is performed at specialised radiology facilities outside of our rooms, the entire process—from the initial referral to the final expert interpretation—is managed under Dr Prasanna’s specialist care.

Dr Prasanna is an accomplished specialist with an extensive academic and clinical record; he has specialised Training in cardiac imaging.  For more information about Dr Prasanna, link over to his bio
