Our Services at 4460 Bissonnet St, Bellaire:
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Scan: This non-invasive imaging test uses specialized X-ray technology to detect calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. These deposits are a sign of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attacks. The CAC score provides an objective measure of heart disease risk, often identifying issues before symptoms appear, allowing for timely intervention and lifestyle changes.
Lung Scan (Volumetric Lung CT): Our advanced computed tomography (CT) scanner performs a detailed, high-resolution scan of the lungs. This service is particularly valuable for early detection of lung conditions, including lung cancer, emphysema, and other lung diseases. It can also assess lung function and help evaluate symptoms like persistent coughing or shortness of breath.
Advanced Body Scan Composition Analysis: Utilizing sophisticated imaging technology, our body composition scan provides detailed measurements of various components within the human body. This includes precise analysis of fat mass (divided into essential and non-essential), lean muscle mass, and total body water. This information offers a more comprehensive health picture than standard BMI measurements, helping individuals understand their body composition and track changes over time.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): This innovative, non-invasive alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy uses computed tomography to create detailed, three-dimensional images of the colon and rectum. It is an effective screening tool for colorectal cancer, offering a less uncomfortable option for many patients while still providing high-quality diagnostic information.
All these services are performed at our Bellaire location using advanced technology to ensure accurate results and a comfortable experience for our patients. We focus on making these essential preventive scans accessible and affordable for the residents of Bellaire.
