Our Core Services at 4460 Bissonnet St
At Advanced Body Scan's Bellaire location, we focus on four primary types of non-invasive, preventive imaging scans:
1. Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Scan
This advanced, non-invasive imaging test uses specialized X-ray technology to detect calcium deposits in the walls of your coronary arteries. These deposits are a key indicator of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. A CAC score provides valuable information about your heart health risk profile, often identifying issues years before symptoms appear. This service is particularly valuable for individuals with risk factors for heart disease or those seeking preventative screening.
2. Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening)
Early detection is paramount in the fight against lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Our low-dose CT lung scan is specifically designed for screening purposes, offering a radiation-reduced alternative to traditional CT scans. This service is highly recommended for current and former heavy smokers aged 50-80, or those with a significant smoking history and other risk factors. It can detect small nodules or abnormalities in the lungs that might be missed by standard X-rays, enabling earlier intervention and significantly improving treatment outcomes.
3. Advanced Body Composition Scan
Understanding the intricate balance of fat, muscle, and bone within your body goes beyond simple weight measurements. Our advanced body composition analysis utilizes sophisticated technology to provide detailed breakdowns of visceral fat (deep abdominal fat surrounding organs), subcutaneous fat, total body fat percentage, muscle mass, and bone density. This information is invaluable for tailoring fitness and nutrition programs, managing weight effectively, assessing metabolic health risks, and tracking progress over time for overall wellness improvement.
4. Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography)
For colorectal health screening, our virtual colonoscopy offers a less invasive alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy. Using computed tomography (CT) scans, 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 procedure itself is quicker and more comfortable. It allows radiologists to meticulously examine the colon's lining for polyps or other abnormalities, making it an effective tool for colorectal cancer screening.
