Why Choose Preventive Scans?
Many serious health conditions, particularly those related to the heart and lungs, often show no early warning signs.

Advanced Body Scan Bellaire offers state-of-the-art imaging services that allow for the early detection of potential issues.

Our Services in Bellaire
At our Bellaire location, we provide four distinct types of essential scans:
1. Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium Scan): This non-invasive, painless procedure uses specialized CT technology to detect calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. Calcium buildup is a strong indicator of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. This scan provides valuable information about your heart health risk profile, even if you have no symptoms.
2. Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening): We offer low-dose CT scans designed specifically for lung cancer screening. This is particularly recommended for individuals at higher risk, such as long-term smokers or those with risk factors. Early detection of lung cancer dramatically improves survival rates. Our Bellaire facility provides this vital service in a comfortable and efficient manner.
3. Body Scan: Our comprehensive body scan utilizes multi-detector CT technology to provide detailed cross-sectional images of various parts of the body. This versatile service can be tailored to address specific health concerns or used as part of a broader preventative health assessment. It allows doctors to visualize internal structures with exceptional clarity.
4. Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): This advanced imaging technique offers a less invasive alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. Using CT scans, our technicians create detailed 3D images of the colon and rectum, allowing for thorough visualization without the need for extensive preparation or the discomfort sometimes associated with traditional methods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Advanced Body Scan Bellaire
Q1: What exactly does a Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium Scan) tell me?
This scan measures the amount of calcium buildup in your coronary arteries. Calcium deposits are a sign of atherosclerosis, which is the hardening and narrowing of the arteries. The score you receive helps your doctor assess your risk for heart disease and heart attack. It's a powerful tool for understanding your heart health risk, even if you feel perfectly fine.
Q2: Who should get a Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening) at your Bellaire location?
The American Lung Association recommends annual screening with low-dose CT for adults aged 55-77 who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. However, we encourage discussing your personal risk factors with your doctor. If you are a former smoker or have other risk factors, we can advise if screening might be appropriate for you.
Q3: Is the Virtual Colonoscopy procedure painful?
No, the Virtual Colonoscopy procedure itself is generally painless. You will lie still on a table while the scanner captures images around you. The main preparation involves a bowel cleansing regimen the day before your exam to ensure clear images. While the preparation requires commitment, the actual scan is quick and comfortable.
Q4: How long does an average Body Scan (CT) appointment take at your Bellaire facility?
A typical CT scan appointment at our Bellaire location lasts about 10-30 minutes in the scanner itself. However, you should plan for a total visit time of approximately 1-1.5 hours to account for registration, changing into a gown, and any necessary preliminary steps before the scan begins.
Q5: Can I get same-day appointments for these scans at your Bellaire office?
We strive to accommodate requests for same-day or next-day appointments whenever possible, depending on scheduling and the type of scan required. It's best to call our Bellaire office directly at (346) 955-7226 to inquire about availability for your specific needs.
