What is a Body Scan

The body scan (total body scan) involves a complete screening scan from the lower neck to pelvis to create 2D and 3D images of the major organs of the body.

The procedure includes the coronary artery scan (heart scan), the lung scan (chest screen) and an abdominal-pelvic scan and takes just a few minutes.

A Board-certified radiologist with our staff CT technologists will create a comprehensive report and will be looking for such problems as:

• Coronary artery disease and evidence of plaque in major vessels of the thorax and neck vessels.
• Chest and lung abnormalities including lung cancer, pneumonia, lung fibrosis, hiatal hernia, pleural disease, mediastinal abnormalities and nodes
• Some growths, nodules or cancers in liver, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, ovaries and uterus
• Some types of stones in kidney and gallbladder
• Aortic aneurysm and plaque in major abdominal vessels
