One of the most frequently asked questions we hear from patients is: how much does a cancer scan cost? And what does it include? In short, the cost of health scans can vary widely. The price is typically affected by the part of the body being scanned and the technology being used. For example, a heart and lung scan, which involves scanning the chest only, costs less than a whole body scan, which scans for problems from head to toe. For the purposes of this article, we will explore Craft Body Scan’s most popular low cost cancer screening — the couples heart and lung scan. You will learn about what the scan includes and how much it costs, as well as how to schedule your first scan at an affordable rate.
Heart and Lung Scan
One of our most popular low cost cancer screenings is the couples heart and lung scan. This is a non-invasive chest scan of the heart and lungs, using advanced low-dose radiation. Patients often choose a heart and lung scan because it’s one of the fastest, easiest and most accurate ways to learn about the current state of your cardiovascular and pulmonary health. If cancer or heart disease runs in your family, early detection is one of the best ways to address and resolve health problems successfully.
What Does a CT Scan of the Heart Show?
Our computed tomography (CT) scanner is an advanced diagnostic tool that can detect heart-related health problems before signs and symptoms occur. For example, the scan of your heart will generate a score that can predict your risk of a heart attack. A higher coronary calcium score suggests you have a higher chance of significant narrowing in the coronary arteries and a higher risk of a future heart attack. By finding out this information early, you can take proactive measures to improve your heart health — like dietary and lifestyle changes — and reduce your risks.
What Does a CT Scan of the Lungs Show?
A CT lung scan provides a clear look at the lungs, displaying much more detail than a traditional x-ray. The CT lung scan is helpful in the identification of lung cancer, infection and blocked blood flow in the lung (pulmonary embolism). It is also helpful in the evaluation of lung diseases and conditions such as pneumonia, blood clots, tumors or damage caused by smoking. CT scans are a type of medical imaging that combines the use of X-rays and computer processing to produce detailed images of the inside of your body.

Who Should Get a Cancer Scan?
We often don’t worry about our health until it’s too late. At Craft Body Scan, we’re here to reverse that trend with early detection scans. If you have congenital heart disease, a heart birth defect, a family history of heart disease or cancer, or any other heart or lung issues, you are an ideal candidate for a low dose CT heart and lung scan. Early detection is the key to reducing your risks.Furthermore, if you suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, a CT heart scan is a smart choice. These health conditions increase your risk of heart problems.If you are experiencing problems with lung functionality such as breathing issues or a family history of lung problems, a lung scan is also a good idea. A lung scan helps determine the root cause of lung problems such as wheezing, breathing difficulty or breathlessness. In summary, you’re a good candidate for a heart and lung scan if you:
Are currently struggling with a heart or lung-related health condition
Have a family history of heart disease or cancer.
Are between the ages of 40 and 70 and want to get a true picture of your heart and lung health.
Are a past or present smoker.
