Wellness Body Scans for Fort Worth Patients

A wellness body scan uses CT to image selected areas of the body in a single, non-invasive appointment. It typically covers the heart and coronary arteries, the lungs, and abdominal organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The radiologist looks for findings such as calcified plaque, lung nodules or gallstones that may need follow-up. The scan does not include the brain or limbs, does not examine every organ, and cannot rule out every condition.

Heart Scan for Fort Worth Patients

Our facility offers heart scans utilizing computed tomography (CT) to provide a detailed view of your heart and its arteries. The scan evaluates the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries, which is a crucial sign of atherosclerosis and heart attack risk. The resulting calcium score helps your physician estimate your risk of a heart attack and decide whether lifestyle changes or medication are appropriate. The scan is designed for people who feel well and measures plaque rather than narrowing, so anyone with chest pain or shortness of breath should see a physician before considering it.

Lung Cancer Screening for Fort Worth Patients

Annual low-dose CT lung screening is recommended for adults aged 50 to 80 with at least a 20 pack-year smoking history who currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years. The radiologist reviews the images mainly for nodules that could be an early sign of lung cancer. Most nodules found are harmless, and some only need a follow-up scan after a few months. A lasting cough, coughing up blood, or breathlessness should be checked by a physician rather than a screening scan.

Virtual Colonoscopy for Fort Worth Patients

Virtual colonoscopy is a colorectal cancer screening option for adults aged 45 to 75. It uses CT imaging to examine the colon and rectum without sedation or a scope, but the bowel must be fully emptied the day before. Radiologists examine the images for polyps and other growths. If a significant polyp is found, a standard colonoscopy is needed to remove it. Very small or flat polyps can occasionally be missed.

Coronary CT Angiography for Fort Worth Patients

When a physician needs to see inside the heart’s arteries, for example, to investigate chest symptoms, coronary CT angiography provides a detailed view. Contrast dye is injected into a vein in the arm, and the images show narrowing and both calcified and soft plaque, with Cleerly analysis included for eligible scans. Before the scan, we ask about kidney problems and any previous reaction to contrast dye.

Bone Density Scan for Fort Worth Patients

To identify the mineral density of your bones—most often the hips and spine—we use low-dose X-ray scans known as DEXA. The result is reported as a T-score, which helps your physician assess osteoporosis and fracture risk. If bone density is low, your physician can advise on treatment and when to repeat the test. Screening is recommended for women aged 65 and older and for younger postmenopausal women at increased risk.
