Our services include screenings capable of detecting abnormalities and disease in virtually any organ or organ system of the body.
Cardiac Imaging
Used to detect abnormalities of the heart itself and/or its ability to pump effectively by visualizing the heart, and taking precise measurements related to pumping efficiency. Non-invasive and painless, this screening utilizes ultrasound, an invaluable tool in the detection of structural problems or diseases.
Neurology
Neurology refers to the area of medicine that focuses on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. A neurological screening uses ultrasound to assess blood flow to the brain, and within it, as well as any structural abnormalities. This test is crucial for identifying the risk of stroke, and cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology refers to the area of medicine that focuses on the many organs and tissues of the digestive system. The mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The digestive system covers a lot of territory, and medical problems related to the digestive system are common. An ultrasound screening of the organs of the digestive system can easily identify problems and irregularities that are indicative of disease.
Urology
Urology refers to the area of medicine that specializes in the male and female urinary tract, and the male reproductive organs. Consisting of the kidneys, the tubes that carry urine to the bladder (ureters), the bladder, and the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra) in both males and females, and the male reproductive organs, a screening of the urinary system can easily identify abnormalities and disease.
Obstetrics & Gynecology
Obstetrics & gynecology refers to the area of medicine that specializes in pregnancy and female reproductive health. From a fetal ultrasound to monitor a baby’s growth and development to the visualization of the female reproductive organs, ultrasound is a critical tool in the early identification of developing problems.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is characterized by a loss of bone mass throughout the skeleton which greatly increases the risk of fracture. This screening utilizes ultrasound to assess bone density and can easily detect the onset and progression of osteoporosis. Fractures can easily lead to life-threatening complications. Bone density can begin to decline as early as age 35. Early detection and intervention are critical in slowing or even reversing, decreases in bone density, and osteoporosis.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers found in men, and for this reason, all males age 45 and over should be screened. This test will consist of a simple blood test known as a PSA test. Elevated PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer and could warrant further testing.
Screenings for Prevention & Maintenance
Preventative and diagnostic screenings should be a part of everyone’s health maintenance regimen, even in the absence of signs or symptoms. Ultrasound is safe, painless, non-invasive, and includes no potentially harmful radiation exposure as seen in CT scans and x-rays. The Prostate cancer screening consists of a simple blood test. Early detection is one of the most important factors when it comes to achieving a positive outcome. It is our hope that your screening comes back negative. If it does, the peace of mind that comes with it is well worth the time you devoted to getting screened.
