PREVENTIVE HEALTH STARTS WITH BETTER INFORMATION
Why Consider Screening Before Symptoms Appear?
Routine physicals and bloodwork are important, but they cannot always show what is happening inside your arteries, lungs, colon, or abdominal organs. Preventive imaging offers another view by creating detailed pictures of specific areas of the body.
A scan cannot predict every health problem or replace the care you receive from your doctor. It can provide information that may help you ask better questions, understand certain risks, and decide whether additional medical follow-up is appropriate.
For many people, that information brings something equally valuable: a clearer sense of what to do next.
HOW LIFE IMAGING WORKS
Three Simple Steps to Learn More About Your Health
1. Choose Your Screening
Select the screening that best reflects your health history, risk factors, or personal concerns. If you are unsure which option to request, a member of the Life Imaging team can explain the available services.
2. Visit a Life Imaging Center
Your team will review any preparation instructions with you before your appointment. Many Life Imaging screenings are noninvasive, use low-dose CT technology, and can be completed without contrast dye or sedation.
The exact experience and preparation requirements depend on the screening you receive. Learn more about what to expect during your Life Imaging visit.
3. Receive Your Results
A licensed radiologist reviews your images, and you receive a report containing the findings. Results should be discussed with your primary care provider or another qualified healthcare professional who understands your complete health history.
You can review sample Life Imaging reports before scheduling.
THE NUMBERS BEHIND EARLY DETECTION
What Health Research Can Tell Us
Nearly 2 in 5 Americans
According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 39% of men and women in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.
This is a population-level estimate and does not predict a person’s likelihood of developing cancer.
Nearly 1 in 5 Life Imaging Scans
Life Imaging’s historical internal data indicate that nearly 1 in 5 scans identify a finding that may warrant physician follow-up or continued monitoring.
This figure should be accompanied by current internal documentation and reviewed periodically for accuracy.
Calcium Scoring Adds More Information
Research supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute found that coronary artery calcium scores may improve long-term heart disease risk predictions.
Calcium scoring provides information beyond traditional considerations such as cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking history, and family history.
15% to 20% Fewer Lung Cancer Deaths
In the National Lung Screening Trial, eligible high-risk participants screened with low-dose CT had a 15% to 20% lower risk of dying from lung cancer than participants screened with chest X-rays.
This result applies to the high-risk population studied in the trial and should not be interpreted as a benefit for every adult.

‘In January, I went for a free CT scan and I had two stents put in my heart. The cardiologist said that within 6-9 months I would have had a stroke, died, or had a silent heart attack. Life Imaging saved my life’
‘The conventional approach to medicine has it all backwards. They wait to diagnose and manage a disease after it’s developed. Life Imaging offers you an opportunity to look directly inside the body.’
‘I went for a scan because my mom had died of a heart attack at the end of May. I’m in perfect health, no symptoms of anything, 58 years old, non-smoker, healthy, no medication. Well, they found a cancerous tumor in my left-upper lobe of my lung. I’m told that I caught it so early that I’m going to be totally fine. Everyone is saying, including the doctor, that getting the scan saved my life.’

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions About Preventive CT Screening
Can I schedule a screening if I feel healthy?
Preventive screening is generally intended for people without active symptoms. However, eligibility and suitability vary by scan. If you are experiencing chest pain, severe shortness of breath, sudden weakness, or another urgent symptom, seek immediate medical care instead of scheduling preventive screening.
Does preventive CT screening diagnose cancer or heart disease?
A scan may identify findings associated with certain conditions, but imaging results must be interpreted within the context of your health history and other testing. Some findings require additional diagnostic evaluation before a condition can be confirmed.
Does a radiologist review Life Imaging scans?
Yes. A licensed radiologist interprets the images, and we provide a report. You should review the results with your primary care provider or another qualified healthcare professional.
How should I prepare for a preventive CT scan?
Preparation depends on the screening type. Some scans require little preparation, while virtual colonography requires bowel preparation. The Life Imaging team will provide instructions before your visit.
Do I need a referral to schedule a screening?
Referral requirements may vary by screening and individual circumstances. The Life Imaging team can explain what is required when you request an appointment.
Is the heart scan really free?
Free heart scans are available to qualifying adults. Minimum eligibility requirements apply, and the Life Imaging team will confirm whether you qualify before scheduling your scan.
