Our Services in Bellaire
We offer a range of specialized, non-invasive imaging services designed for early detection and assessment:
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Scan: This advanced, non-invasive test measures the amount of calcium buildup in your coronary arteries. It's a powerful tool for assessing your risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. The quick, painless procedure provides valuable information that can guide lifestyle changes or further medical evaluation.
Lung Scan (Volumetric CT Lung Cancer Screening): Especially valuable for current or former heavy smokers aged 50-80, this low-dose CT scan is the most effective tool for detecting lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. Regular screening can dramatically improve survival rates for those at risk.
Whole Body Scan: Our comprehensive body scan provides detailed images of multiple systems, including the heart, lungs, abdomen, and pelvis. It's an excellent option for baseline health assessment, monitoring treatment effectiveness, or evaluating symptoms. This thorough evaluation offers a comprehensive snapshot of your internal health.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): This innovative, less invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy offers a comfortable way to screen for colorectal cancer. Using advanced CT technology, our technicians create detailed 3D images of your colon and rectum, allowing for thorough visualization without the discomfort often associated with traditional methods.
Each of these services is performed using state-of-the-art equipment calibrated to the highest standards, ensuring exceptional image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Our experienced team in Bellaire is committed to providing clear explanations before, during, and after each procedure.
