Full Body vs. Targeted Scan: What’s the Difference?
At Dragonfly, we offer two types of scans. The right one depends on what you’re looking for.
Full-Body Scan
This scan provides a broad overview of your body, evaluating multiple regions in one session. It’s designed to help identify unexpected findings or early changes and offer general insight and peace of mind — rather than an in-depth evaluation of one specific concern.
Targeted Scan
This scan focuses on a specific area of the body when there’s a symptom, concern, or known issue that needs closer evaluation. Because it concentrates on one region, it provides more detailed information for that particular area.
In short:
🔷 A full-body scan = wider coverage
🔷 A targeted scan = deeper detail in one area
Even if your full-body scan is clear, it does not replace routine screenings with your primary care provider. We still recommend keeping up with guideline-based tests such as:
• Prostate and colon cancer screenings
• Mammograms and other breast cancer screening
Both scans serve different purposes. Choosing the right one depends on your health goals — whether you’re looking for a general overview or answers about a specific concern.
