Our Services at 4460 Bissonnet St
We offer a range of advanced imaging services tailored for preventive care:
Heart Scan (Coronary Artery Calcium - CAC) Scan: This non-invasive test uses specialized CT technology to measure the amount of calcium buildup in your coronary arteries. Calcium deposits are a key indicator of atherosclerosis, a condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. A high CAC score can motivate lifestyle changes or medical interventions before a cardiac event occurs.
Lung Scan (Lung Cancer Screening): Using low-dose CT technology, our lung scan is designed for early detection of lung cancer, particularly beneficial for individuals at higher risk (such as long-term smokers). Detecting lung cancer in its earliest stages dramatically improves survival rates.
Whole Body Scan: Our comprehensive body scan provides a detailed look at various aspects of your internal health. This can include assessments of bone density, organ health, fat distribution (visceral vs. subcutaneous), and sometimes vascular health indicators. It's a valuable tool for monitoring overall health and identifying potential risk factors.
Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): This advanced imaging technique offers a less invasive alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. Using CT scans, we create detailed 3D images of your colon and rectum, allowing our team to identify potential polyps or abnormalities without the need for extensive bowel preparation or sedation.
These services are performed using cutting-edge technology in a comfortable and efficient manner, all within our Bellaire facility. Our experienced technologists are trained to operate the equipment and ensure you receive the highest standard of care.

The specific parameters can be discussed during your consultation.
Q2: Is the Heart Scan (CAC) suitable for everyone living in Bellaire?
A: The Heart Scan is primarily recommended for individuals at intermediate risk for heart disease, often based on age, family history, and other factors.

Q3: How long does a Virtual Colonoscopy procedure take at your Bellaire facility?
A: The actual Virtual Colonoscopy scan procedure itself is typically quick, often taking just a few minutes. However, the entire process, including preparation instructions and the time needed for image reconstruction and review by our team, is scheduled as a dedicated appointment block at our Bellaire center.
Q4: Are the imaging services at 4460 Bissonnet St covered by insurance?
A: Insurance coverage for these preventative scans varies.
