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
Learn MoreThis 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
Learn MoreOur 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
Learn MoreThis 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
Learn MoreUsing 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
Learn MoreOur 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
Learn MoreThis 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
Learn MoreUsing 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.
