Life Imaging Jacksonville
Many people intend to get screened but wait because they feel well or are unsure which test they need.
Available to qualifying households once every five years. Coronary calcium imaging can identify calcified plaque that may be present before symptoms appear.
EARLY DETECTION MADE EASIER
Life Imaging Jacksonville brings several preventive CT screening services together in one location. You can learn about your options, ask practical questions, complete an appropriate scan, and receive a radiologist-reviewed report that you can share with your healthcare provider.
Preventive screening is not a replacement for routine medical care or an examination for active symptoms. Your physician remains the right person to interpret your results alongside your complete medical history.
Services
A free heart scan offers a straightforward way to learn whether calcified plaque is visible in the coronary arteries. The low-dose CT examination produces a coronary artery calcium score that can be considered alongside cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking history, age, and family history.
Jacksonville residents consider this scan for different reasons. Some have a close relative who developed heart disease. Others are managing known risk factors or want objective information even though they feel well. The free scan is subject to minimum eligibility requirements, which our team confirms before booking.
- Noninvasive CT imaging
- Coronary calcium score
- No needles or contrast dye
- Free for qualifying adults
“About 1 in 20 adults age 20 and older have coronary artery disease.”
Low-dose CT lung screening looks for small nodules and other visible changes in the lungs. It is primarily recommended for certain adults at higher risk because of their age and smoking history.
Many Jacksonville residents ask about screening because they currently smoke, smoked in the past, or have concerns about years of tobacco exposure. A lung nodule does not automatically mean cancer. The radiologist’s report may recommend no action, future monitoring, or further evaluation depending on the finding.
- Low-dose CT technology
- Quick, noninvasive screening
- No sedation required
- Lung nodule assessment
“People who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke.”
Preventive cancer screening uses CT imaging to look for certain visible changes that may deserve monitoring or further medical evaluation. It does not detect every type of cancer, and one scan cannot confirm that cancer is present or absent.
People may explore cancer screening because of their age, personal history, family history, or concern about conditions that can develop without immediate symptoms. The radiologist’s report can be shared with a primary care physician or specialist to decide whether another test is necessary.
- Preventive CT imaging
- Radiologist-reviewed findings
- Early awareness of visible changes
- Reports for physician follow-up
“Between 30% and 50% of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding risk factors and implementing existing evidence-based prevention strategies.”
Virtual colonography, also called CT colonography, uses CT imaging to create detailed views of the colon and rectum. It does not require sedation or a scope passing through the entire colon, which makes it a practical option for some adults who have delayed colorectal screening.
Bowel preparation is still required so the colon can be viewed clearly. If the scan identifies a polyp or another concerning area, a traditional colonoscopy may be needed to remove the polyp or collect a tissue sample.
- No sedation required
- No full colonoscope required
- Detailed CT images of the colon
- No post-sedation recovery time
“Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death for both men and women.”
The abdomen and pelvis contain several organs that can develop structural changes without causing an immediate warning. CT screening creates cross-sectional images that allow a radiologist to examine visible areas involving the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, abdominal aorta, bladder, and certain pelvic organs.
Some Jacksonville adults choose this screening to establish a baseline or because their personal or family history has made them more attentive to internal health. The scan cannot measure every aspect of organ function, so blood tests, ultrasound, MRI, or another evaluation may still be necessary.
- Detailed cross-sectional images
- Multiple organs and structures reviewed
- Preventive baseline information
- Supports physician discussions
“Pancreatic cancer can be difficult to diagnose early because it may not cause noticeable signs or symptoms.”
Life Imaging Jacksonville offers brain CT screening for people seeking a detailed view of the brain and nearby structures. The scan captures images that may show an unexpected change or provide context for an existing medical concern. Your healthcare provider can review the radiologist’s report alongside your symptoms, risk factors, medications, and previous health history before discussing next steps.
- Detailed images of the brain
- Quick and noninvasive scan
- Licensed radiologist review
- Written report for medical follow-up
“An estimated 1 in 50 people in the United States has an unruptured brain aneurysm.”

A radiologist must review the images before the report is completed. Our team will explain the expected reporting timeline for your service. Share the report with your healthcare provider, particularly when follow-up is recommended.
