In today's fast-paced world, prioritizing preventive healthcare is more crucial than ever.

Our state-of-the-art imaging services at our Bellaire location are designed to provide valuable insights into your internal health, offering peace of mind and empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.
Advanced Body Scan specializes in several key imaging modalities performed right here in Bellaire:
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium Scan)
This non-invasive, radiation-free test uses advanced calcium scoring technology to detect calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. These deposits are a key indicator of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. The Heart Scan provides a quantitative score that helps assess your individual risk level for cardiovascular disease, even if you currently have no symptoms. It's an excellent tool for people with risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking history, or a family history of heart disease.
Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening)
Using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), our Lung Scan is specifically designed for early detection of lung cancer. This screening is particularly recommended for individuals with significant risk factors, such as a history of heavy smoking or exposure to environmental irritants. The low-dose radiation ensures patient safety while providing detailed images of the lung tissue, allowing our team to identify potential abnormalities at an early, most treatable stage.
Whole Body Scan
Our comprehensive Whole Body Scan offers a unique opportunity to get a broad overview of your internal health. This service typically includes imaging of the brain, neck, chest, heart, abdomen (including liver, kidneys, spleen, adrenal glands), pelvis (including hips and reproductive organs), and long bones. While not a replacement for standard medical check-ups, it can help identify unexpected findings that might warrant further investigation by your primary care physician.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography)
For Bellaire residents seeking an alternative to traditional colonoscopy, our Virtual Colonoscopy service offers a less invasive option for colorectal cancer screening. Using computed tomography, we create detailed, three-dimensional images of the colon and rectum. This procedure requires bowel preparation similar to a standard colonoscopy but avoids the need for a scope insertion. It's an effective screening tool for detecting polyps and colorectal abnormalities.
All our services are performed using cutting-edge technology calibrated for precision and safety. Our team at the Bellaire location is committed to providing a comfortable and efficient experience, with friendly staff guiding you through the process from scheduling to interpretation of results.
We understand that accessing quality healthcare should be convenient.
