Advanced Body Scan Bellaire specializes in non-invasive imaging techniques designed to assess internal organ health and detect potential issues early, when treatment is often most effective. Our focus is on providing high-quality, affordable imaging services tailored to meet the specific health screening needs of our local patients.
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Screening: This advanced, non-invasive test uses specialized CT technology to measure the amount of calcium buildup in the coronary arteries. Calcium deposits are a strong indicator of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The CAC score provides valuable information about your heart health risk profile, even for individuals without symptoms. It's a powerful tool for assessing cardiovascular risk and guiding preventative strategies.
Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening): We offer low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans, a highly effective method for detecting lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. This service is particularly recommended for high-risk individuals, such as long-term smokers or those with a history of smoking, as well as those exposed to environmental risk factors. Regular LDCT screenings can dramatically improve survival rates by enabling early detection.
Whole Body Scan: Our comprehensive whole body scan provides a detailed look at multiple organ systems in a single imaging session. This versatile service can be tailored to focus on areas of specific concern or used as a baseline assessment for overall health. It typically includes imaging of the heart, lungs, abdomen (including liver, kidneys, spleen, adrenal glands), and sometimes the brain or extremities, depending on the protocol chosen. It's an excellent tool for monitoring general health or investigating specific symptoms.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): For Bellaire residents looking for an alternative to traditional colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening, our virtual colonoscopy service offers a less invasive option. Using CT technology, we create detailed, three-dimensional images of the colon and rectum. This procedure requires bowel preparation similar to a standard colonoscopy but involves no sedation and allows for a quicker recovery time. It's an effective screening tool for detecting polyps and colorectal cancer.
We pride ourselves on utilizing cutting-edge technology and employing highly trained technologists who prioritize patient safety and comfort. Our Bellaire facility is designed for efficiency, minimizing wait times and ensuring a smooth experience from scheduling your appointment to receiving your results. We believe that preventive care should be proactive and accessible, which is why we've established our presence right here on Bissonnet Street in Bellaire.
