When it comes to your health, some of the most serious conditions develop quietly, without symptoms or warning signs. That’s where a CT Full Body Scan can make a powerful difference. By providing a detailed look inside your body, this advanced imaging exam helps detect potential issues early, when they’re often most treatable. 

What Is a CT Full Body Scan? 

A CT Full Body scan is a noninvasive imaging exam that looks at critical areas of the body, including the abdomen, heart, and lungs, to identify abnormalities that may not yet be causing symptoms. The scan does not require hospitalization or sedation, making it a convenient option for proactive health screening. 

What Does the Scan Include? 

Your CT Full Body scan evaluates several key areas, including: 

  • Chest and Abdomen 
  • Coronary Calcium Scoring to assess heart disease risk 
  • Kidneys 
  • Spine 

This comprehensive approach allows physicians to spot early signs of disease across multiple systems in one appointment. 

Why Get a CT Full Body Scan? 

Many serious health conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, or internal organ abnormalities, can exist without noticeable symptoms. A CT Full Body scan can reveal concerns before they become more advanced, giving you and your healthcare provider valuable time to act. 

Early detection saves lives, and imaging plays a critical role in catching problems sooner rather than later. 

Checking Your Heart Health with Coronary Calcium Scoring 

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. In fact, every 33 seconds, one person dies from cardiovascular disease. Coronary Calcium Scoring, included in the Full Body CT scan, measures calcium buildup in the coronary arteries and helps evaluate your risk for heart disease, often before symptoms appear. 

What to Expect During Your Appointment 

  • How long does it take? 
    • The appointment usually lasts about one hour.  
  • What should you wear?
    • You can wear regular clothing, as long as there is no metal (such as zippers, buttons, or underwire). 

The process is quick, comfortable, and designed to fit easily into your day. 

Your provider may also recommend screening based on personal or family health history. 

Take a Proactive Step Toward Your Health 

A Full Body CT scan offers peace of mind and actionable insight, helping you stay informed about your health before symptoms arise. If you’re ready to take a proactive approach, advanced imaging can help you see what you can’t. 

We find this screening is the most helpful for individuals over 50. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact BlueRock Imaging in Provo, Utah.
