A Body scan at Colorado Heart Imaging involves 3 separate procedures:
· The electron beam coronary artery scan (‘Heartscan’)
· An electron beam high resolution low dose CT scan of the chest (‘Lungscan’)
· A screening electron beam CT scan of the abdomen. A pulmonary function test (Spirometry) will usually be included.
1.) The coronary scan or
Heartscan is recommended for middle-aged individuals for the very early
detection of coronary disease.
2.) The chest scan is especially recommended for smokers (over the age of 45 who have been smoking at least 10 years) or for those heavily exposed to lung carcinogens (passive smokers, asbestos, etc). Most tiny nodules detected by this method will be benign and will often require follow-up scanning at least every 6 months for two years. Larger nodules need follow-up by a physician. Colorado Heart Imaging requires that the patient identify a physician who is willing to follow-up in case of positive findings.
3.) Screening Electron Beam
CT of the abdomen is being offered a various centers nationwide as a response
to consumer interest in diagnosing unexpected abdominal lesions including some
cancers before symptoms. In our
opinion, it is a practice that should not be encouraged for widespread use, but
is available to qualified individuals who understand its limitations.
Colorado Heart Imaging
requires that the patient identify a physician who is willing to follow-up in
case of positive findings.

PREVENTION SCREENING DISCLOSURE AND
CONSENT
I
voluntarily consent and authorize Colorado Heart Imaging physicians,
technologists, and medical assistants to administer the testing required to
perform EBCT Ultrafast Cardiac screening test, Spirometry, and or Cholestech.
IF
YOU ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING CHEST SYMPTOMS: PAIN – SHORTNESS OF BREATH –
ETC.
I realize that there is a
small amount of radiation exposure associated with the EBCT procedures. I further understand that although this screening
can help identify certain early disease states, it should not be considered a
substitute or in place of a thorough examination or testing recommended by a
physician. Like all diagnostic tests, a
normal scan does not guarantee that I will not have a heart attack or need
treatment for coronary disease.
I understand that the EBCT
Ultrafast examinations, spirometry, and or cholestech ,are intended as
screening tools and the possibility exists that abnormalities may be
found. If such abnormalities are found,
I understand that such testing and/or diagnostic procedures may be needed to
further evaluate the findings. I do
understand that such tests and or procedures may entail additional costs for
which I am responsible. I understand
that Colorado Heart Imaging is not responsible for my follow-up medical
care. My results will be made available
to the physician of my choice.
The body scan procedure is
designed as a screen to look for abnormalities of the lungs, liver, kidneys,
spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, aorta and abdominal lymph nodes. Cysts, stones, tumors, congenital
abnormalities and vascular plaque are among the lesions detected. The procedure does not involve contrast dye
injection; therefore many abnormalities will not be detected. Very small tumors, cysts and stones will not
be detected. In addition, a patient
consenting for the procedure understands that there may be a higher than usual
likelihood for ‘false positives’ than in most diagnostic procedures in
medicine. In other words, there may be
the reporting of lesions of no significance or radiological findings, which are
not, in fact, present. On occasion, a
patient will be advised to follow up such an abdominal scan with a contrast CT
scan or other procedures that may be recommended by a physician. It is also understood that radiology is not
a perfect science and it is quite possible for a radiologist to miss a
significant lesion or abnormality by this method. I also understand that a body scan is not adequate and not
recommended to detect metastasis or to follow-up the progress of someone with a
history of cancer. Such patients
should only have a body scan if they are interested in a possible opportunity
to find some problems, which are unrelated to their cancer diagnosis.
