Lifescan Enhanced Check
| Lifescan Enhanced Check | £720 |
This detailed CT health check combines all the individual scans that Lifescan offers. It is the ideal choice for those looking to gain peace of mind, or an early warning about serious illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, colon 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. Virtual colonoscopy – captures hundreds of exceptionally detailed images from outside the body. The images build up a complete picture of the colon, which enables the Consultant Radiologist to undertake a ‘fly through’ of the entire colon allowing for visualisation of any small polyps or changes in the bowel such as diverticular disease. The virtual colonoscopy also gains images of the other abdominal organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder and spleen. 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: 45+ |

Note: The Lifescan Enhanced Check involves the need to prepare the bowel for the virtual colonoscopy. This will mean following a change in your diet for two days before your appointment and taking a laxative. All details relating to this will be discussed with you at the time of booking your appointment.
