What is a Whole Body Scan?
Whole body CT screening is a comprehensive screening CT exam of the entire chest, abdomen and pelvis. Many have called this examination a “virtual physical exam” because it screens for disease of the lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, bowel and vascular system. Because its use is somewhat controversial, Fairfax Radiological Consultants ask that you consult with your physician prior to the exam. We require a physician’s order to do the exam.
