The
Heart Scan
Heart disease, if detected early, can potentially be reversed before any
serious heart damage has occured. Our ultrafast CT scan is a highly effective screening
method to detect atherosclerosis long before the first symptoms. In fact,
this advanced technology can find the early warning signs of heart disease
that traditional treadmill tests and cholesterol screening may miss. This
noninvasive screening test produces a "calcium score" - which has demonstrated to be a very accurate way to assess
the current health of your heart, and predict risk of future heart attacks.

The
Lung Scan
Six times more effective than a standard X-ray, this scan is the most advanced
screening tool available for the early detection of lung cancer and diseases
like emphysema. This screening can detect lung cancer at its earliest stages,
when treatment has a much higher rate of success. Recent research has shown a benefit to yearly CT screening exams for those at risk for lung cancer.
