Are your Full-Body CT Scans painful?

How much is a Full Body scan?

A full Body scan which includes your Heart and a Calcium Score ( heart disease being the number one killer in the US) is only $2497.

What can I see on a Full-Body CT scan?

The specific findings of this scan will depend on the type of scan and the area being imaged. However, some common findings include:

  • Cancer: Full body scans can help detect cancer at an early stage, when treatment is most effective.
  • Tumors: Tumors are abnormal growths of tissue. Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
  • Inflammation: Inflammation is a condition that causes redness, swelling, and pain, and it can be seen on a scan as an area of increased brightness.
  • Abnormalities in bone density: Full body scans can measure bone density, helping to identify osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle.
  • Abnormalities in the heart and lungs: Some full body scans can detect early signs of serious diseases, such as heart disease and lung cancer.
What's the difference between an MRI and Computed Tomography (CT) body scan?

The primary difference between a CT scan and an MRI is their ability to image the heart and detect certain conditions. CT scans are more effective for identifying heart disease and certain cancers, while MRIs may struggle in these areas. Additionally, there are notable differences in the comfort and time required for each type of scan.

Key Differences:

  • Heart and cancer imaging: CT scans are superior at detecting early signs of heart disease and calcium buildup, and can identify up to 500 types of cancers. MRI scans are less effective in these areas.
  • Time and convenience: CT scans take less than five minutes and require no preparation, while MRI scans can take 45 to 75 minutes and require placing coils on your body.
  • Comfort: During a CT scan, there’s no need to change clothes or have anything cover your body. In contrast, MRI scans require wearing electronic coils that can become hot and uncomfortable.
  • Noise level: MRI scans can produce up to 100 decibels of noise, which can be uncomfortable for sensitive individuals, while CT scans are much quieter and less confining.

In short, CT scans are generally faster, quieter, and more suited for detecting heart and lung conditions compared to MRI scans.

What can I expect during the scan?

Our scans are designed with your comfort in mind, requiring no injections, dyes, fasting, or other preparations. To begin the scan, you will lie down on the table, go in feet first and the whole process takes less than five minutes as it quickly and painlessly capture images of 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 and 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.
