At Advanced Body Scan, located at 4460 Bissonnet St, Bellaire, TX 77401, we are dedicated to providing Bellaire residents with essential, preventive medical imaging services in a convenient and affordable manner. Our Bellaire center is your local hub for advanced diagnostic technology, specifically designed to help you take proactive steps towards maintaining your cardiovascular health, respiratory wellness, overall body awareness, and colorectal health.
In today's fast-paced world, preventative healthcare often takes a backseat. However, early detection is paramount for effectively managing and preventing serious health conditions. Our mission at Advanced Body Scan in Bellaire is to bridge that gap by making sophisticated imaging technologies accessible right here in your community. We understand that knowing your health status can empower you to make informed decisions and take control of your well-being.
Our Bellaire facility offers four key types of advanced body scans:
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium Scan): This non-invasive imaging test uses specialized X-ray technology to detect calcium deposits in your coronary arteries. These deposits are a sign of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. The Heart Scan provides valuable information about your heart health risk, often identifying issues before symptoms appear, allowing for timely intervention and lifestyle changes.
Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening): We offer state-of-the-art Low-Dose CT scans designed for early detection of lung cancer. This service is particularly recommended for individuals with significant risk factors, such as a history of smoking. Our Lung Scan is a powerful tool in the fight against lung cancer, which is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes.
Whole Body Scan: Our comprehensive Whole Body Scan provides a panoramic view of your internal structures. Using advanced imaging, this service allows healthcare providers to assess various organs and systems across your entire body. It can be an excellent tool for baseline health assessment, monitoring treatment effectiveness, or evaluating unexplained symptoms. This thorough evaluation offers peace of mind and valuable data for your healthcare team.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): This innovative, less invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy uses computed tomography to create detailed images of your colon and rectum. It's an effective method for colorectal cancer screening, allowing doctors to detect polyps or abnormalities without the need for extensive preparation or the discomfort sometimes associated with traditional colonoscopy. It's an important tool for maintaining digestive health right here in Bellaire.
All these services are performed using cutting-edge technology at our Bellaire location, ensuring high-quality images and accurate results. Our team is committed to providing a comfortable and efficient experience for every patient who visits our facility at 4460 Bissonnet St.
We believe that knowing your health status is a fundamental aspect of living a vibrant life. By offering these essential preventive scans locally in Bellaire, we aim to make advanced diagnostics a regular part of your health maintenance routine, much like regular check-ups or exercise.
