Preventive CT Imaging Services Offered Near Scottsdale 

Our center uses advanced CT technology to help Scottsdale residents understand their health with clarity and accuracy. These scans are quick, comfortable, and focused on early detection.

  • Heart Scan

    This scan measures calcium in the coronary arteries to uncover plaque that raises heart attack risk. Since most heart attacks occur without prior symptoms, this screening is a valuable tool for prevention.

  • Lung Scan

    Our lung scan can identify small nodules, infections, early lung cancer, and other abnormalities. Because lung cancer often grows without discomfort, early detection can greatly improve outcomes.

  • Full Body Scan

    This scan examines major organs in your chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Tumors, cysts, stones, and internal changes often go unnoticed until they become advanced. A full body scan helps reveal these risks early.

  • Virtual Colonoscopy

    Using CT technology, this screening checks for colon polyps and potential masses without the invasiveness of a traditional colonoscopy. Most polyps develop slowly, giving you time to act when found early.

  • Bone Density

    Our bone density scan evaluates calcium levels to determine strength and fracture risk. Millions of Americans have low bone density but are unaware until a break occurs.

  • Body Fat Assessment

    This assessment measures visceral fat, which can significantly increase the risk of heart disease and metabolic conditions. Understanding these levels helps guide better health choices.

  • Auto Chamber Cardiac Volumetry

    Using AI technology, this scan examines the size and performance of the heart chambers. Structural heart changes, such as left ventricular enlargement, may increase mortality risk and are often missed without targeted imaging.

Common Questions From Scottsdale Residents 

  • How accurate are preventive CT scans for detecting early disease?

    Preventive CT scans are highly sensitive and can detect small abnormalities long before symptoms appear.

  • What conditions can a full-body scan find?

    These scans can identify tumors, cysts, stones, vascular issues, plaque buildup, lung nodules, and other silent concerns.

  • Is a coronary calcium score worth it if I feel healthy?

    Yes. Most people who suffer heart attacks have no symptoms. Calcium scoring detects plaque early.

  • Can a lung scan detect cancer early?

    Yes. CT lung scans can detect small nodules, including cancers as tiny as 2 mm, often long before symptoms develop.

  • How long does a CT scan take from start to finish?

    Most preventive scans take only minutes, and patients can return to daily activities right away.

  • Is a virtual colonoscopy as effective as a traditional colonoscopy?

    Virtual colonoscopy is highly effective for detecting polyps and masses and is less invasive than a standard colonoscopy.

  • Do CT scans use a lot of radiation?

    Preventive CT scans use low radiation levels and follow strict safety protocols to keep exposure minimal.

  • How often should I get a preventive scan?

    Many people get annual scans to monitor changes and catch new issues early.

    Most insurance plans do not cover preventive CT scans, but financing options are available.
