Detecting disease early can change what happens next. It can mean simpler options, a clearer plan, and more time to act while problems are still manageable. As we get older, the smartest health decisions are usually the ones made before symptoms show up.

Advanced Detection Imaging at Advanced Body Scan

At Advanced Body Scan, we use latest generation CT technology designed to capture detailed images quickly and comfortably. Our protocols are built around two goals: high quality imaging and a patient experience that respects your time.

CT imaging is especially valuable for assessing the heart and lungs, two areas tied to the leading causes of death in the United States: heart disease and lung cancer. That is why so many people start here when they want real answers, not guesswork.

Heart Scans and Coronary Calcium Score

One of the most important advanced detection tools we offer is a CT heart scan with a coronary calcium score.

A coronary calcium score measures calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. It can help identify coronary artery disease before symptoms appear, and it gives your physician objective data to guide next steps.

Modern CT scanners can capture images fast enough to reduce motion blur from the beating heart, helping produce clearer, more readable images.

Heart concerns we can evaluate include

• Coronary artery disease (plaque buildup that narrows arteries)

• Signs linked to prior heart events and contributing factors (such as plaque patterns that suggest elevated risk)

• Pericardial findings (the lining around the heart)

• Heart size observations

• Heart valve calcification indicators

If you have a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or you simply want a more objective baseline, a heart scan is often the most practical starting point.

CT Body Scans for Advanced Detection

Our CT body scan imaging is designed to evaluate multiple regions efficiently and can help identify a wide range of findings earlier than symptoms would.

Examples of concerns that may be seen on CT imaging

Pancreatic cancer
The pancreas sits deep in the abdomen, so early disease often produces few obvious signs. Imaging can help identify suspicious changes that may warrant follow-up.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
An AAA can enlarge silently. Imaging can detect aneurysms so your physician can monitor size and risk over time.

Thoracic aortic aneurysm
The aorta can weaken gradually. CT imaging can help identify enlargement in the chest portion of the aorta that may need monitoring or specialist review.

Important note: No scan can guarantee that every disease will be found, and not every finding is cancer or an emergency. The goal is earlier visibility and clearer decision-making.

Lung Scans and Chest Findings

CT imaging is widely used to evaluate the lungs because it can reveal small changes that may not cause symptoms early on.

Lung and chest concerns that may be detected

• Lung nodules and lung cancer indicators: Abnormal growth patterns that may require follow-up imaging or specialist evaluation

• Emphysema and chronic lung changes: Structural changes in air sacs and lung tissue

• Hiatal hernia: When part of the stomach moves upward through the diaphragm

If you are a current or former smoker, have long-term exposure risks, or want clarity on your lung health, a CT-based lung evaluation can provide meaningful answers.

Virtual Colonoscopy

Virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography) is a non-surgical imaging approach that creates a detailed view of the colon. It is designed to detect abnormalities that may require follow-up, including suspicious polyps.

Compared with an optical colonoscopy, virtual colonoscopy does not involve advancing a scope through the entire colon, which can reduce certain procedure-related risks. That said, if something is found, an optical colonoscopy may still be recommended for removal or biopsy.

Virtual colonoscopy may help identify

• Colon polyps

• Findings suspicious for colon cancer

• Diverticulosis and diverticulitis patterns

• Wall thickening or abnormal inflammation

• Other abdominal findings in the scanned region (your report will specify what was seen)

Why Patients Choose Advanced Body Scan

People do not come to us because they want more tests. They come because they want better clarity.

• Fast, efficient appointments

• Latest generation CT imaging focused on detail

• Board-certified radiology review

• Results that support informed next steps with your physician

If you are ready to stop guessing and start with real data, Advanced Body Scan is built for that.
