Our Services at 4460 Bissonnet St, Bellaire, TX 77401
At our Bellaire location, we provide four distinct types of advanced body scanning services, each utilizing state-of-the-art technology:
1. Preventive Heart Scan: This non-invasive, painless procedure uses advanced imaging technology to assess the health of your coronary arteries. It measures the thickness of calcium buildup within the artery walls, providing a quantitative score known as the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score. A low or zero score offers significant reassurance about your heart health, while a higher score can prompt further discussion with your doctor about managing risk factors and potentially initiating preventative strategies.
2. Preventive Lung Scan: This service is crucial for early detection of lung issues, particularly for individuals with risk factors such as smoking history or occupational exposure. The scan can identify small nodules or abnormalities that might be missed on a standard chest X-ray. It helps differentiate between benign and potentially concerning findings, guiding decisions about further testing or monitoring.
3. Comprehensive Body Composition Scan: Understanding the precise distribution of fat, muscle, and bone mass throughout your body is key to optimizing health and wellness. Our advanced body composition analysis goes beyond simple weight measurements. It provides detailed insights into visceral fat (the deep abdominal fat surrounding organs, linked to metabolic diseases) and subcutaneous fat, helping you understand your body's composition and tailor your health and fitness strategies for better results.
4. Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): For colorectal health screening, we offer a less invasive alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy. Using computed tomography (CT) scans, our Virtual Colonoscopy creates detailed, three-dimensional images of the colon and rectum. This procedure is generally well-tolerated with minimal preparation compared to other methods, making it an accessible option for routine colorectal cancer screening as recommended by guidelines.

The Virtual Colonoscopy requires preparation time (which isn't part of the scan itself) but the actual scanning process is very fast, often less than 5 minutes.
Q4: Do I need a referral or prescription for these scans?
A4: While not always mandatory, we often find that having a referral or request from your primary care physician helps frame the scan within your overall health context and facilitates discussion of results. However, many individuals choose to take the initiative for preventive screening. Our staff can provide guidance on this.

A5: Preparation depends on the specific scan:
- Heart Scan: No special preparation is usually needed. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before the scan.
