Lifescan Check
| Lifescan Check | £620 |
This CT health check is a combination of several specific scans which together enable us to view your major vital organs. Since Lifescan began offering CT health checks in 2003, this service has been one of the most popular choices with people looking to gain peace of mind about serious illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, osteoporosis and aortic aneurysms.
| Includes: | Heart scan – provides detailed information about the condition of your coronary arteries and can indicate more precisely your risk of a heart attack or stroke. The scan is looking for calcium build up in the arteries, which indicates the very early stages of heart and vascular disease – long before any symptoms are present. The more calcium (plaque) there is the greater your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. However, if calcium is detected early, modern treatments and lifestyle changes can make all the difference and help you avoid future heart attack and stroke.
Lung scan - a low dose CT scan of your lungs which will capture hundreds of detailed images which will be reviewed by a Consultant Radiologist who will check and report on any evidence of changes visible in the lungs. Our lung scans are six times more accurate than a traditional x-ray in detecting the early signs of lung cancer. It is the ability to highlight nodules the size of pea that makes the difference when treating lung disease. Abdomen scan – this scan is available with the Lifescan Check to include visualisation of the abdominal organs and the aorta to exclude the possibility of aortic aneurysms, kidney stones or kidney cancer. Please note this scan does not include any visualisation of the colon (large bowel). Bone mineral density scan - this scan is aimed at looking for any deterioration in the density of your bones, which could indicate the early signs of osteoporosis. If detected at an early stage (osteopenia), changes in lifestyle and/or specially designed drugs can help to prevent further progression of this debilitating illness. Min age: 40+ |
