Many of us invest in different ways to stay healthy - we exercise, we diet, and we are careful to not get hurt. We have one body to take care of in this life. One other important way to maintain your health may not be on your radar; Medical Imaging has truly revolutionized health care.
There are many options for non-invasive imaging, including X-Ray, Ultrasound, CT and MRI. The goal of Medical Imaging is to screen, diagnose, and monitor many health conditions. They offer a wealth of information allowing you and your doctor to improve their ability to care for patients.
Specific screening tests such as Mammography, CT Calcium Score, CT Virtual Colonoscopy, and Low Dose CT Lung Screening are a vital part of health management. The sooner a condition is discovered, the sooner treatment can begin. Earlier intervention can increase the chances for a positive outcome. Studies show that since the introduction of regular screening for diseases, such as breast cancer, coronary artery disease, and lung cancer, mortality rates have decreased significantly.
Modern imaging exposes patients to far less radiation than earlier radiographic techniques. Some screening tests use no radiation at all! At FRC, all our imaging options are fast, safe, and provide accurate results.
