A screening mammogram is used to detect breast tumors in women who have no symptoms of breast cancer. The goal of a screening mammogram is to detect tumors that are too small or too deep to be discovered any other way. Put simply, mammography is an important part of a woman’s annual wellness check-up.

Screening of the Lungs is a non-invasive CT scan that can detect abnormalities and lung cancer in its earlier, more curable stages using a new technique called low-dose CT scanning. The screening is far more accurate in finding lung tumors than a chest x-ray, the traditional diagnostic tool. It can find lung cancers when they are as small as the diameter, as compared with a chest x-ray that find them when they are about the size of a quarter. Lung screening CT is a superior screening tool over traditional X-ray for monitoring lung health among individuals with a history of smoking.
The latest technique in preventive medicine, the Full-body HealthScan is a comprehensive series of CT scans that can detect certain abnormalities of the heart, lungs and organs of the abdomen and pelvis. The screening is non-confining and pain-free. The only preparation required for the Full-body Scan is for the patient to complete a standard medical history questionnaire at the time of his appointment.
Virtual Colonoscopy is a quick and painless procedure that allows doctors to look at the large bowel (colon) to detect polyps and cancers in the early stages. It uses a CT scanner and computer graphic software to produce images of the colon through which the radiologist can “navigate”. It is a non-invasive test.
Bone mineral density testing, DEXA is the gold standard for diagnosing patients who have or are at risk for osteoporosis — a disease that causes bone to become more fragile over time. This scan can help determine if bones are starting to become porous or thin before a bone is broken.
