Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) is a powerful tool for assessing heart disease risk. Using advanced CT technology, our Bellaire center can quickly and non-invasively measure the amount of calcium buildup in your coronary arteries. This calcium score provides valuable information about your risk for heart attack and stroke, allowing for earlier lifestyle changes or medical interventions if needed. It's a quick procedure often completed within minutes, making it an accessible option for heart health assessment right here in Bellaire.
Lung Scans are essential for evaluating lung health, particularly for detecting early signs of lung cancer or assessing lung function in conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pulmonary hypertension. Our Bellaire facility utilizes sophisticated imaging techniques to create detailed cross-sectional images of your lungs. These scans help doctors diagnose diseases, plan treatments, and monitor patient progress effectively, all managed locally at our Bellaire address.
Advanced Body Scanning refers to our comprehensive approach using technologies like Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT). This allows us to create detailed images of various parts of your body – from bones and joints to soft tissues – in cross-section. These detailed images are invaluable for detecting a wide range of conditions, from fractures and arthritis to soft tissue tumors and internal injuries. Our Bellaire center is equipped with the latest technology to provide high-resolution scans for thorough body assessments.
Virtual Colonoscopy, also known as CT Colonography, is a modern alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. At our Bellaire location, we use computed tomography to create detailed, three-dimensional images of the colon and rectum. This procedure is less invasive than traditional colonoscopy, requiring only bowel preparation similar to optical colonoscopy but no sedation. It's an effective tool for detecting polyps and colorectal cancer early when they are most treatable, conveniently available to Bellaire residents.
