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.
Galleri™ Test: Advanced Multi-Cancer Early Detection
We are proud to offer the Galleri™ test, a groundbreaking multi-cancer early detection (MCED) 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 Galleri Works
- Cell-Free DNA Methylation Analysis: The Galleri test 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: Galleri 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 Galleri
- Comprehensive Screening: Unlike traditional cancer screenings that target single cancer types, Galleri 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. Galleri’s ability 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 Galleri test with our existing diagnostic services, offering a comprehensive early detection solution that combines advanced blood-based screening with traditional imaging techniques.
By incorporating the Galleri test 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.
