ct scan with contrast has to be ordered by a dr due to potential contrast issues.
admire your aggressive response to statin recommendation-i love my statin btw-but good to see someone actively involved in any health decision making process.
the scan would show narrowing of any sort. the narrowing from soft plaque, the precursor of calcium, is far more dangerous than calcium.

....the narrowing from soft plaque, the precursor of calcium, is far more dangerous than calcium.
