cardiac ct

couple of ?'s
i was wondering what does this test look at besides the actual  heart,   does it cover the aorta as well?  or does it differ by protocol / location?
i had a questionable stress    
Do you think that I would be okay getting this test  at a  smaller, private, suburban clinic (also one of those places that advertises "get your heart checked for $100!" ),  or would i be wise to try to get it done at a major university hospital?    I am worried about the experience level at the smaller clinic on sucha  new test but  i know this clinic does it every day,  so i was wondering what you thought?

CT for calcium scoring to check for plaque in your arteries has a low radiation exposure and is different than a CT cor angio.  CT angios are being done all over the country and you should go to a facility with a large experience in the test.
