Advanced Body Scan offers a range of specialized imaging services tailored for preventive health assessments:
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Scan: This non-invasive CT scan measures the amount of calcium buildup in your coronary arteries. The presence and quantity of calcium can indicate your risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. It's a powerful tool for assessing cardiovascular health, especially for individuals with risk factors or family history.
Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening): Low-dose CT scans are highly effective for detecting lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. We offer this vital screening service, particularly recommended for individuals who are current or former heavy smokers aged 50-80 years old, or those with other significant risk factors.
Advanced Body Scan: Our comprehensive body scan utilizes multi-detector CT technology to provide detailed cross-sectional images of various internal structures. This versatile service can be tailored to focus on specific areas of concern or used for general health assessment, offering a wealth of diagnostic information in a single examination.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): This minimally invasive CT-based procedure provides a detailed, three-dimensional view of the colon and rectum without the need for traditional colonoscopy preparation or sedation. It's an effective alternative screening method for colorectal cancer detection.
