What is a Full Vascular Scan ?

The procedure includes the coronary artery scan (heartscan), the lungscan (chest screen) and an abdominal-pelvic scan and takes just a few minutes. We also offer a breathing test (pulmonary function or spirometry).

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

  1. Coronary artery disease and evidence of plaque in major vessels of the heart.
  2. Chest and lung abnormalities.
  3. Some growths or nodules in liver, pancreas, kidneys, or bladder.
  4. Some types of stones in kidney and gallbladder.
  5. Aortic aneurysm and plaque in major abdominal vessels.

For a nice set of images of the abdominal scan, visit the site www.lifescore/abdomenscore.htm created by the excellent doctors of Lifescore, La Jolla.
