In today's fast-paced world, preventative healthcare is more crucial than ever. Early detection of potential health issues significantly improves outcomes and can be life-saving. Advanced Body Scan specializes in non-invasive imaging services designed to provide detailed insights into your internal health without the discomfort or risks associated with more traditional, invasive procedures.
Our Bellaire facility offers a range of advanced body scanning services tailored for preventive care:
Heart Scan: Utilizing advanced imaging technology, our heart scan service provides a detailed assessment of your coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. This non-invasive test helps identify the presence of calcium deposits in your coronary arteries, which are a key indicator of heart disease risk. It's a powerful tool for assessing your risk of heart attack and stroke, allowing for timely lifestyle changes or medical intervention if necessary.
Lung Scan: Our lung scan service is designed to detect early signs of lung conditions, including lung cancer. Using low-dose radiation protocols, the scan provides detailed images of your lungs, helping to identify abnormalities such as nodules or changes in lung tissue structure. This is particularly valuable for individuals with risk factors for lung disease or for those seeking proactive screening.
Advanced Body Scan: Our comprehensive body scan goes beyond the standard. It provides a detailed look at various internal structures, offering a broader overview of your overall health. This versatile scan can be tailored to focus on specific areas of concern or used as a general health assessment tool, providing valuable information for your healthcare provider.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): For colorectal health screening, we offer virtual colonoscopy. This advanced imaging technique uses CT scans to create detailed, three-dimensional images of your colon and rectum. It's a less invasive alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy, offering a comfortable way to screen for colorectal polyps and cancer.
