LDCT Lung / CT heart Calcium Scoring

Low-dose chest CT is a quick, advanced imaging tool that detects early-stage lung and heart conditions, reducing death risk in high-risk patients.

Show More

Low Dose Chest CT Scan

For lung cancer screening takes multiple chest images while the patients lie flat on the X-ray table. The images are combined to reconstruct detailed internal organ images, highlighting the lungs. Due to the high image qualities, the scan can detect a small lung nodule or early stages of lung cancer.

Calcium Scoring

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) for Calcium Scoring uses special x-ray equipment to produce pictures of the coronary arteries to determine if they are blocked or narrowed by the buildup of plaque – an indicator for atherosclerosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The information obtained can help evaluate whether you are at increased risk for heart attack.

Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program

Advanced Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program

We are proud to offer the Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program, a groundbreaking screening tool.

Show More

This innovative blood-based test detects DNA markers associated with cancer and identifies the tissue of origin, demonstrating impressive results in detecting early-stage cancers, including those challenging to diagnose through conventional screening methods.

How Advanced Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Works

Cell-Free DNA Methylation Analysis: The Advanced Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) employs next-generation sequencing to detect specific methylation patterns in cell-free DNA (cfDNA), indicating the presence of cancer. This advanced technique analyzes the natural process of methylation, which regulates gene expression and often exhibits abnormal patterns in cancer cells.
High Specificity and Sensitivity: The Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program offers exceptional sensitivity for numerous cancer types while maintaining a low false-positive rate. Its ability to predict the tissue of origin aids in guiding follow-up testing and diagnosis, enhancing the overall efficiency of cancer detection.

Benefits of Choosing the Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program

Comprehensive Screening: Unlike traditional cancer screenings that target single cancer types, the Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program screens for over 50 different cancers in one test. This comprehensive approach provides a more thorough evaluation of an individual’s cancer risk.
Potential for Improved Outcomes: Early cancer detection is crucial for successful treatment and improved survival rates. The ability of Advanced Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) to detect cancer at early stages plays a pivotal role in potentially saving lives by enabling timely interventions.
Seamless Integration: Our partnership allows for the seamless integration of the Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program with our existing diagnostic services, offering a comprehensive early detection solution that combines advanced blood-based screening with traditional imaging techniques.

By incorporating the Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Program into our service offerings, we aim to provide our patients with cutting-edge cancer screening technology, potentially improving outcomes through early detection and targeted follow-up care.

Mammography Screening

Mammography screening is an essential tool for the early detection of breast cancer. With mobile breast imaging services, patients gain convenient and accessible care right in their communities.

Show More

Using advanced imaging technology, mammograms can detect tumors that are too small to be felt or seen through other methods. This early detection plays a critical role in improving treatment outcomes, as identifying potential issues sooner increases the likelihood of successful intervention and survival.

Mobile mammography services make it easier for women to prioritize their health by offering screenings close to home or work. This convenience encourages more women to get screened, leading to earlier diagnoses and better chances for effective treatment. Regular mammograms are key in catching breast cancer early, even before symptoms develop, providing a significant advantage in the fight against this disease. Women of recommended screening age should prioritize regular mammograms to ensure the best possible protection against breast cancer.

Addressing Occupational Health Risks

Infrastructure professionals face environmental and physical stressors that significantly increase the risk of chronic disease. Cardiovascular disease is a primary concern due to high-stress environments and particulate exposure, while long-term handling of hazardous materials increases the risk of digestive tract and brain cancers.

Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD): Targeting the leading cause of death with advanced heart health diagnostics.
Carcinogen Exposure: Screening for lung cancer, mesothelioma, and leukemia linked to asbestos and chemical solvents.
UV & EMF Radiation: Monitoring for skin cancer from arc welding and potential cellular dysfunction from high-voltage environments.
Modern Health Impact: Assessing the consequences of sedentary roles, high sugar consumption, and synthetic chemical exposure on cellular energy production.

Targeted Health Screenings for Energy Professionals

United Diagnostic Services provides a data-driven approach to early detection, focusing on the specific environmental and chemical exposures faced by energy workers. Every professional completes a detailed work-history and exposure profile, allowing our medical team to tailor screenings based on individual occupational risk.

Core Screenings Include:

Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging: Using ultrasound to identify atherosclerotic plaque and heart disease risks driven by high-stress environments and particulate exposure.
Early Cancer Detection: Targeted screenings for lung, colorectal, and prostate cancers, as well as mesothelioma linked to asbestos exposure.
Chemical & Radiation Monitoring: Assessing risks associated with solvents, lead, and UV radiation from industrial processes like arc welding.
Cellular Function & Metabolic Health: Advanced blood panels to detect cellular dysfunction caused by synthetic chemicals, sedentary lifestyles, and sleep deprivation.

On-Site Execution & Industrial Logistics – Efficiency Without Downtime

United Diagnostic Services recognizes that energy and utility infrastructure requires 24/7 reliability. Our medical deployment model is designed to provide high-level diagnostic care without compromising your operational schedule. We bring the screening directly to your facility, depot, or union hall, allowing your team to complete comprehensive testing in a single, coordinated session.

Through this streamlined execution, we provide:

Mobile Medical Deployment: Our teams arrive on-site with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, transforming any office or training room into a temporary screening suite.
Coordinated Single Sessions: We perform full-body ultrasound, advanced blood panels, and targeted cancer screenings in one visit to maximize participation and minimize downtime.
Actionable Results & Consultations: Each professional receives a secure, confidential report followed by a telemedicine consultation to review clinical findings and next steps for follow-up care.
Institutional Data Support: For utility leadership and unions, we provide de-identified, aggregate data to help identify workforce trends and inform future preventive health initiatives.

Because cardiovascular disease and occupational cancers often develop slowly over years of exposure, we recommend periodic rescreening every 2–3 years. This ensures your workforce remains proactive, protected, and prepared to meet the physical demands of maintaining our critical infrastructure.

The United Diagnostic Services Promise

United Diagnostic Services is dedicated to the long-term wellness of the professionals who build and maintain our critical infrastructure. Our programs provide personalized reports, telemedicine consultations, and clear guidance on risk reduction, allowing members to proactively manage their health.

Union leadership and company administrators benefit from aggregate, de-identified data that helps guide meaningful workforce wellness initiatives. By combining specialized education, early detection, and preventive screenings, United Diagnostic Services ensures that your workforce can identify problems early, access necessary follow-up care, and continue to thrive both on and off the job.
