PSSI hopes to provide the service to other small cities as well as college campuses and businesses later this year...

In the other, researchers successfully used the scan with an injectable dye to see if arteries had actually narrowed. One conventional method, the stress test, isn't always reliable; in angiograms, the other technique, a catheter must be threaded to the heart...
