A whole-body Computed Tomography Scan, also known as a CT Body Scan, is a valuable tool for detecting potential health issues at an early stage.
The main difference between a computed tomography scan like ours and an MRI scan is that the MRI scan cannot image the heart and the vessels around it. Since heart disease is the number one killer of all diseases, it is very important to have a scan that can see early signs of heart disease. Our scan can also see up to 500 different types of cancers. So early detection is the key with an advanced body scan. Advanced Body Scans computed tomography scans are considered the gold standard for imaging the heart. Since heart disease is the number one killer of all Americans, it makes sense to get this scan in lieu of an MRI. Cancer is the second leading cause of death after heart disease. Of all cancers, Lung cancer is number one in deaths. The lungs are another area that MRIs struggle to image. Computed Tomography scans are superior at imaging calcium buildup in the heart and the structures of the lungs for lung cancer.
Other differences between an MRI and a Computed Tomography Scan are comfort and time. Our Advanced scan takes less than 5 minutes. There is no need to change clothes and there are no needles, no prep, and nothing covering your body. With MRI technology, your body is covered in electronics called "coils" These coils remain in place for the entire scan and can be somewhat cumbersome. They can hold heat causing many patients to overheat during scans. Counting the time it takes to attach the coils to your body, the entire process can take upwards of 45 minutes to 75 minutes for the entire MRI process. MRIs also produce an enormous amount of noise, up to 100 decibels, and can be very problematic for people who are subject to claustrophobia.
You should consider getting a whole-body CT scan if you have individual risk factors such as obesity, environmental exposures, and especially a family medical history of disease. The following individuals may benefit from a whole-body CT scan:
Our simple non-surgical advanced scan requires no injections, no dyes, no fasting, or other preparations. This test has been designed with your comfort in mind. You will lie down on the table, you will go in feet first and the whole process take less than 5 minutes. Our Advanced Scanner will quickly and painlessly scan your organs, including your heart, lungs, and other organs as well as the vessels around your heart looking for early signs of heart disease and up to 500 cancers as well as other diseases. It will take multiple helical images of your organs, your heart, and its vessels looking for the earliest signs of heart disease, cancer, and many other diseases.

Yes, our scan measures the calcium buildup in your coronary arteries and determines a specific score.
A calcium score from a CT heart scan is a measure of the amount of calcium buildup in the coronary arteries. Calcium buildup is a sign of atherosclerosis, which is a narrowing of the arteries that can lead to a heart attack.
The calcium score is calculated by using a computer to count the number and size of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. The score is then expressed as a number, with a higher score indicating more calcium buildup.
A calcium score of 0 means that there is no calcium buildup in the coronary arteries. A calcium score of 1 to 10 indicates a small amount of calcium buildup. A calcium score of 101 to 400 indicates moderate calcium buildup. A calcium score of 401 or higher indicates severe calcium buildup.
The calcium score is a useful tool for predicting the risk of a heart attack. People with a higher calcium score are more likely to have a heart attack in the future. However, the calcium score is not a perfect predictor of risk, and other factors, such as age, gender, and family history, also play a role.
A CT heart scan is a relatively painless and noninvasive procedure. It is typically performed in a hospital or imaging center. The patient lies on a table and is injected with a contrast dye. The CT scanner then takes a series of images of the heart.
The calcium score is a valuable tool for assessing the risk of a heart attack. However, it is important to remember that the calcium score is not a perfect predictor of risk. Other factors, such as age, gender, and family history, also play a role. If you have a high calcium score, it is important to talk to your doctor about your risk of a heart attack and how to reduce your risk.
Here are some of the benefits of getting a calcium score:
Yes, SaaS works for small and big businesses. It's flexible and can grow with your needs.
