Our Core Preventive Scanning Services
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Screening
This advanced, non-invasive test uses state-of-the-art CT technology to measure the amount of calcium buildup in your coronary arteries. Calcium deposits are a strong indicator of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. The CAC score provides valuable information about your heart health risk profile, often identifying issues that traditional risk factors might miss. This Bellaire-specific service empowers you with knowledge to make informed decisions about your cardiovascular health.
Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening)
Early detection is key in the fight against lung cancer. Our low-dose CT lung screening service is designed for appropriate candidates, particularly those with risk factors like smoking history. This procedure provides detailed images of your lungs, allowing our experienced technicians and radiologists to identify small nodules or abnormalities that might not be visible on a standard X-ray. By offering this vital screening locally in Bellaire, we aim to contribute to earlier lung cancer diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.
Advanced Body Scan
Our comprehensive body scan service utilizes multi-detector CT technology to generate detailed cross-sectional images of various parts of your body. This versatile tool can be used for a wide range of preventive evaluations, including detailed assessments of abdominal organs, the thoracic and lumbar spine, and the chest. It's a valuable resource for monitoring overall health, evaluating specific concerns, or providing detailed anatomical reference for your personal physician. This Bellaire-based service offers a holistic view of internal structures in a single, efficient procedure.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography)
For Bellaire residents seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening, our virtual colonoscopy service offers a modern solution. Using CT technology, this procedure creates detailed, three-dimensional images of the colon and rectum. The preparation is generally less stringent than for a standard colonoscopy, and the examination itself is quicker and more comfortable. This advanced imaging technique allows radiologists to meticulously examine the colon's lining for polyps or other abnormalities, contributing to effective colorectal cancer prevention and early detection right here in Bellaire.
