Our Core Preventive Scanning Services
We offer a range of specialized, non-invasive imaging services tailored for early detection and peace of mind:
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Scan: This advanced, non-invasive test uses specialized CT technology to measure the amount of calcium buildup in your coronary arteries. Calcium deposits are a key 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, even if you have no symptoms. It's an excellent tool for assessing risk, especially for individuals with risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking history, or a family history of heart disease.
Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening): Lung cancer is often detected at a later stage because it typically doesn't cause symptoms until it has advanced. Our low-dose CT lung scan is the most effective tool for detecting lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages, particularly for individuals at higher risk. This includes current or former heavy smokers, as well as those exposed to environmental risk factors like radon or air pollution. Regular screening can dramatically improve survival rates.
Whole Body Scan: Our comprehensive whole body scan provides a detailed look at your internal structures. While primarily used for detecting unexpected abnormalities, it can also be valuable for baseline health assessments or monitoring changes over time. It offers peace of mind by providing a visual overview of your internal organs and skeletal system, potentially identifying issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): This advanced imaging technique offers a less invasive alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. Using CT technology, we create detailed, three-dimensional images of your colon and rectum. This method avoids the need for extensive bowel preparation or the discomfort of a traditional colonoscope insertion, while still providing a highly accurate assessment for most cases. It's a comfortable and efficient way to screen for colorectal polyps and cancer.
The Power of Early Detection
These advanced imaging services are not diagnostic tools but powerful screening instruments. They don't replace regular check-ups or consultations with your primary care physician, but they provide crucial data. By identifying potential issues early, often before symptoms manifest, these scans can:
• Facilitate timely intervention and treatment
• Reduce the complexity and cost of managing health conditions • Offer reassurance and peace of mind • Provide valuable information for making informed lifestyle choicesYour Health Journey Starts Here in Bellaire

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What exactly does an Advanced Body Scan Bellaire heart scan measure?
A1: Our heart scan, formally known as a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan, uses a specialized type of CT imaging to measure the amount of calcium plaque buildup in your coronary arteries. This calcium score is a direct indicator of the amount of atherosclerosis present, which stiffens the arteries and increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. A higher score generally indicates a greater risk.
Q2: Who should get a lung cancer screening scan at Advanced Body Scan Bellaire?
A2: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends annual lung cancer screening with low-dose CT for adults aged 50-80 years who have a 20 or more pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Individuals with a history of heavy smoking or exposure to other risk factors like radon or asbestos should discuss their personal risk and the appropriateness of screening with their doctor. We recommend consulting your physician to determine if screening is right for you based on your specific risk factors.
Q3: Is the virtual colonoscopy at your Bellaire location safe and comfortable?
A3: Yes, our virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography) is generally considered safe and comfortable. It uses low-dose CT technology, minimizing radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. While the preparation (clearing your bowels) requires some effort, the actual scan itself is quick, painless, and typically takes only a few minutes. You'll lie on a table and hold your breath briefly while the scanner moves around you. No sedation is required.
